Sony announced all PlayStation 5 configuration information
Not long after Microsoft officially announced the information of the Xbox Series X, Sony also officially announced the configuration information of its next-generation game console PlayStation 5.
In a live event hosted by PlayStation architect Mark Cerny, he revealed the following configuration information about the PlayStation 5:
PlayStation 5 PlayStation 4 CPU 8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz with SMT (variable frequency) 8x Jaguar Cores at 1.6GHz GPU 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency) 1.84 TFLOPs, 18 CUs at 800MHz GPU Architecture Custom RDNA 2 Custom GCN Memory/Interface 16GB GDDR6/256-bit 8GB GDDR5/256-bit Memory Bandwidth 448GB/s 176GB/s Internal Storage Custom 825GB SSD 500GB HDD IO Throughput 5.5GB/s (Raw), Typical 8-9GB/s (Compressed) Approx 50-100MB/s (dependent on data location on HDD) Expandable Storage NVMe SSD Slot Replaceable internal HDD External Storage USB HDD Support USB HDD Support Optical Drive 4K UHD Blu-ray Drive Blu-ray Drive
From the paper data of these hardware configurations, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Sony’s PlayStation 5 seem to have little difference. Both of them use AMD’s Ryzen processor and RDNA2 architecture GPU. Both support ray tracing, Scalable NVMe Flash Storage and similar technologies and hardware configurations.
The most interesting thing about PlayStation 5 is that Sony will allow users to replace the PlayStation 5 with third-party manufacturers’ solid-state drives.
