CPU is only about 200Mhz slower Series X: 3.8 GHz, 3.6 GHz with SMT Series S: 3.6 GHz, 3.4 GHz with SMT But there’s much less RAM to work with and it’s slower by a LARGE margin Series X: 10 GB/320-bit & 6 GB/192-bit (16 GB total) Series S: 8 GB/128-bit & 2 GB/32-bit (10 GB total) And the GPU used in the S is less than half the power Series X: 52 CUs @ 1.825 GHz, 12.16 TFLOPS Series S: 20 CUs @ 1.565 GHz, 4.01 TFLOPS So it’s not just a little weaker, in 2 of the 3 areas (CPU/Memory/GPU) it’s massively cut down.

It is.
CPU is only about 200Mhz slower
But there’s much less RAM to work with and it’s slower by a LARGE margin
And the GPU used in the S is less than half the power
So it’s not just a little weaker, in 2 of the 3 areas (CPU/Memory/GPU) it’s massively cut down.
