@DVS your #1 point, the answer is yes. People have been hands on. The specs are out, the dev kits are out, final versions are out. Nothing I said is anything less than fact, and the end is labeled clearly MY conclusion. Seems to me those 2 letters put together, M+Y, tell any reader that opinion follows. Arguing facts is a sign of insanity. I won't debate you on the rest of what I put as there is nothing to debate. Facts are facts, and regardless if you believe them to be or not, they are. Sorry reality is too much for you, but not my problem.
Series X output is a solid and consistent 12.15 teraflops, and according to digital foundry, with use of the SSD expansion slot, will go much higher as computation will be enhanced with the 2nd drive and variable ray shading. On the other hand, ps5 had variable clocks and will sit around 9 teraflops, not the 10+ number Mark Cerny fraudulently gave in his presentation. Sony's SSD may be quick, but, the GPU and CPU are slow, and will create a bad bottleneck issue. Also, tech specialist Austin Evens has said Xbox Series X is 20% more powerful.
Let me take a second to lement everyone trying to promote some console war. These are businesses, making money is the goal. Console sales make for decent conversation, but to these companies, don't mean much. Xbox's profitability this current gen; Xbox made billions more profit, including roughly 8 billion more in profit the last 2 years. PS4 may have outsold Xbox One over 2 to 1, yet Xbox has millions more Xbox Live subscribers then Sony has playstation plus. Add to that psvr's failure (under 5% attachment rate is definitely a failure), and having nothing remotely comparable to Gamepass.
Back to what we know....
Other reasons why Xbox Series X is superior are:
*Xbox has always had superior online infrastructure
*Xbox has always had the overwhelming consensus best controller in gaming
*the announcement that if you subscribe to Gamepass Ultimate not only do you get access to over 200 games, but the DLC for all of them as well
*the fact that MLB the Show is coming to Xbox so for the sports fans, there will actually be a good baseball game for the first time in a decade. Sports fans no longer have to buy a playstation just for baseball.
*Xbox has actual back compat all the way to the OG Xbox with HDR that works with games that have never even had HDR in them, while ps5 just has access to a few dozen ps4 games using emulators.
*Xbox has 1TB of storage, plus storage expansion that you can actual use, while ps5 has 825GB, and no options for storage expansion.
*Xbox will encourage free upgrades to next gen version of games with Cyberpunk 2077 already on board, while Sony will very likely make it's users re-buy better versions. I mean, that's what they have a history of doing after all.
My conclusion: Xbox Series X is clearly the superior option. It's really not debatable. Sony has really dropped the ball, and hasn't really been competitive since Xbox One S was released. When Phil Spencer says the best place to play is Xbox, it's not just hyperbole. Sony continues to hide everything about the ps5. No form factor, no controller, no real information besides an overly long presentation trying to convince the public their specs aren't inferior.

@KleebanKliban everything I said is factual. It can't be debated because there is nothing to debate.

on what we know so far:

It didn't work.
