Playstation 5 Specs Reveals 10 Teraflop GPU and Expandable SSD Slot
Sony announced before today’s event that they would berevealing detailed informationas the lead system architect Mark Cerny would “deep dive” the inner working of thePlaystation 5.
This included talking about the load time compared to the PS4. The PS5 load time has a target of loading 5GB in terms of bandwidth, with the target of being instantaneous. Quite the tall order for consoles with a history of loading screens. However, this makes for a super fast system with no load times, meaning fast travel is lightning speed and “you’re immediately back in the action when you die”.
While an SSD eliminates these load times, Sony’s aim is to give developers absolute freedom, so they can have the high detailed environments they want without having to have a long staircase or elevator ride to transition these. This means developers can create games how they want, without these limitations.
Cerny also went into the details of how backwards compatibility will work in terms of PS4 and PS5. Sony has already confirmed there will be backwards compatibility with PS4, but no confirmation on previous consoles as of yet which have beenrumoured. Previous PS4 has the chipset from PS3 built in, but this can be quite costly. Instead PS5 will have the difference between systems build in.
PS5 will have quite the large expandable space in terms of external harddrive, you will be slot most NVMe SSD cards and USB hard drives will be supported as well. Playstation 5 will also come with a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray drive meaning optimum movie playback.
