I heard it will support 8k, so this is not surprising.
Amazing though
Present-day consoles "support" 4K... So I wouldn't get too excited.
Don't get me wrong. I am really impressed with the new console hardware. But 8K is a bit optimistic even for high-end PCs let alone consoles.
It's not 8K gaming that is supported, it's 8K video from YouTube and other places when it's available.
Yes the console is going to be very powerful for a console, but still lacking behind a high end pc which is off course going to cost more.
If you watch Austin Evans video, he explains about the ram for this console and how it can be used etc.

Apologies I thought you meant 8K gaming, since that is what I have heard people banging on about with the 8K thing, and it just makes me shake my head and laugh at them.
I would expect the performance to be around the 3700x with a 2080 to a 2080 super level.
The thing that is going to let it down is the storage and upgrade options, because only having 1Tb inside and then using the Seagate 1Tb expansion card, is going to potentially cause issues and given the price of the Seagate "Game Drives" it's going to be costly as well.
They are just bog standard NVME drives but modified to stop people upgrading them or fixing them, themselves given this whole "Right to repair" thing in America, companies are now finding ways to stop you from repairing it and using this type of drive is one way to do it, just like Apple with it's security chip to stop you from fixing your phone etc yourself.

It supports the latest usb, and Linus did a video recently where everyone thought a sata SSD was the fastest for gaming so I wouldn't sweat that fella.
It'll probably be much cheaper to buy a 2tb usb 3 SSD tbh.
I'll also say this now before I get accused of being some sort of console worshipper. I just like gaming. Always have always will and I'll now do it on whatever platform I can that offers me those games.
I just feel that the next gen consoles will totally catch up to PCs. Or at least gaming pcs in their hobbled console state where they've pretty much been since the launch of the original Xbox.

I prefer PC but mainly due to the graphical quality and the controls, if every game on this new console offers full keyboard and mouse support, and the ability to use the likes of the X56 Rhino for Elite Dangerous, then my pc would go on Ebay for sale and I would go to console only because quite frankly they are catching up and offering graphical qualities that I am happy with.
There is also the whole cost thing, with prices increasing stupidly on the PC in terms of hardware it's getting to the point that consoles make much more sense if you can use the controller or if they allow K&M because let's face it nVidia are not going to drop the price of the next top tier card to be lower than the current price of the 2080Ti.
