The PS5 is Official #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin today we got a

sneak peek it will ultimately become the

PlayStation 5 so why is that down with

mark Cerny the man who now I designed

the ps4 but also the upcoming totally

unnamed next-generation PlayStation aka

the PS 5 there is a ton that we can

learn from this chat including big specs

such as a K support rising processors

and a standard SSD in the next-gen

Playstation so let's jump right in by

Sony announcing this before e3 which of

course they're not attending this year

they really are getting the jump on

Microsoft who are very widely expected

to show off their own next-generation

Xbox at the show the top line here

really is that this is the next

generation of consoles unlike what we

saw with the ps4 pro as well as the Xbox

one X both of which requires sort of

half generation steps this should be a

full break with the previous generation

but importantly the PS 5 at least we'll

still have backwards compatibility so

would take a trip down nerd town which

we will be living in for the rest of

this video the ps4 and the Xbox one had

very similar specs now one of the main

downsides here was the CPUs they're

based on AMD is very old and very mobile

focused Jaguar architecture and

essentially this meant that even when

they first came out they were really

underpowered I mean the ps3 and the Xbox

360 were basically roughly on par with

them as far as CPUs that's not exactly a

good thing what like 14 years later this

time around while they are sticking with

an eight-core design it will be a

massively more powerful Rison based

processor now this is very similar to

what we will be finding in the third

generation of Rison that will be coming

out for the PC side later this year and

while the current rise and there's

already somewhere in the neighborhood of

about three times faster than the last

gen consoles this new rise in three

should be even faster CPU performance

really has taken a backseat this

generation because of how underpowered

the current consoles are now sure games

look great but that's very much because

all the really heavy lifting is being

done on the graphics side of things with

the idea that pretty much all consoles

of course pcs going forward will have

powerful CPUs it should really change

the way the lot of games are developed

think about things like giant over walls

with tons and tons of characters we've

seen games such as Assassin's Creed

attempt this sometimes not with the

greatest results however with that extra

CPU resource we really should be able to

see a much better simulation of huge

worlds than we did in the past

the graphics are also going to be a

decent leap so built on the same seven

animator process as the Rison processor

and of course it should actually be the

same APU styles what we found on the ps4

and the Xbox one

this is utilizing Andy's new Navi

architecture Navi Navi Navy

pronunciation aside this should be this

same architecture that we see on the PC

side later this year now this seems

really familiar it should be the PS 5 is

very much like a high-end AMD PC that

will be able to violate it this year

same cpu same GPU just obviously at a

very customized shell well customized

software and customized Ram and

customized SSD but a PC now this is

where details start to get a little bit

thinner now we know a fair bit about

what AMD has for the next generation

rising CPUs on the graphics side there's

not a lot that we really know now it

should support next-generation graphics

memory which would most likely be g DD r

6 assume somewhere in the neighborhood

of like 12 to 16 gigs but beyond that we

really don't know exactly how sony is

customizing it yes they're using the

latest generation building blocks for

their graphics but they could build this

bigger a small of a GPU as they want and

hopefully it's very much on the bigger

side mark Cerny also mentioned that the

PS 5 is capable of supporting a full 8k

resolution now that sounds really

impressive but I highly doubt that we

will see games actually running at 8k

most likely it will be similar to what

we see on the Xbox one s sure a place

for K video but you will never gain

anywhere close to that resolution

I assume the ps4 or rather the PS 5 will

be very similar

you'll be focused on 4k you can do

things like watch aka Netflix or

something now there are some concrete

details we know so the PS 5 will support

ray-tracing

now this is the first time we've seen

this on any kind of AMD graphics

previously it's been relegated to Nvidia

Tsar TX line which of course is a very

powerful line of graphics cards so it's

going to be very interesting to see just

how they're pulling this off now

incidentally this does not mean that the

next generation AMG AMD GPUs just

support ray-tracing by themselves it

very much could be a thing where Sony is

customizing it as they have customized

the ps4 as well as the ps4 Pro as far as

the graphics side of things but at least

we will have some kind of ray tracing

support on the PS 5 and on top of that

they are actually using a version of ray

tracing to upgrade the audio

side of things so supposedly we'll have

much better spatial audio awareness but

I mean that sounds very buzzword until I

actually get to try it but regardless

this should be a major step up on the

graphics side because Sony is continuing

to stick with AMD for the architecture

it means that we do still have backwards

compatibility with PlayStation 4 games

now this shouldn't be a huge surprise

that is of course one of the major

advantages of having such a PC like

architecture something works well for

the ps4 it should be relatively

straightforward for them to get that

game up and running on the PS 5 in fact

it sounds like Sony has done exactly

that

something else that's interesting is

that they did mention PlayStation VR

support now this is one of those weird

things where when PSP are first came out

I feel like it didn't actually blow up

the way that I expected it to

but over time they've steadily but

continuously improved not only the VR

headset but of course also the software

that runs so it does sound like while

they might not necessarily announce a

new version of psvr immediately at least

the existing version will work on the

PlayStation 5 in addition to the CPU and

the GPU upgrades the next generation

PlayStation will also come standard with

an SSD that's kind of a big deal now

sure it is cheaper to go with a hard

drive but it very much is a bottleneck

for the current generation consoles if

you look at like loading times for

example a lot of games can be 20 30

seconds whereas with an SSD you might

have like three or four seconds for that

same load especially you can say that

you have these giant assets these huge

open worlds this should make a big

difference it also sounds like they're

going for a pretty fast SSD quoting mark

Cerny it should have a raw bandwidth

higher than any SSD available for PCs

right now now whether or not that's a

pci 4.0 drive remains to be seen it

could very well be something custom but

it's really exciting to see this level

of performance which will be standard

for the next generation of consoles now

as far as capacity it's hard to say

right now most consoles are a base of

one terabyte and I can definitely assume

the games will continue to get bigger

and bigger so I assume that they've got

to keep at least in that realm which

means this very well might be a more

expensive console than the ps4 ones as

long as it's not like 800 like the ps3 I

think we'll be ok

the PSI there's also not walking away

from physical media of course it should

support downloads like every other

console but it does have an optical

drive now whether this is blu-ray or

they're upgrading to Ultra HD blu-ray

which I very much hope they are it

remains to be seen but

least with this generation of console

you should still be able to buy physical

games for them one of the most

interesting aspects of this whole story

is the timing with so many jumping out

ahead of Microsoft and announcing the

next-generation console it very much

sounds like it is on track to be

released late next year and that's

actually kind of surprising because a

lot of the rumors were pegging the PS 5

being somewhere in the neighborhood of

2021 a full couple years away so the

fact that they're announcing and sort of

releasing this level of specs beforehand

and of course before e3 very much makes

me think that the PS 5 is way farther

along than anyone realized put this all

together and it looks like the PS 5 is a

major upgrade in pretty much all aspects

compared to the ps4 you're getting a

significantly better CPU better graphics

with ray tracing and 8k support as well

as a lot of fast SSD storage and of

course that backwards compatibility with

the last generation so I'm really

curious what do you guys think about the

PS 5 and what are some of your

predictions is it going to be super

expensive like the ps3 was is it going

to come out before the Xbox one or two

or whatever it is called is let me know

in the comments below and I will catch

you guys in the next one
