Unexpected article where Sony confirmed the PS5's existence.
Quick summary:
- CPU: AMD 7nm Zen 2, 8 cores
- GPU: custom Radeon Navi, including raytracing support
- SSD + custom interfacing to massively increase bandwith (Spiderman freetravel demo: 15 seconds to 0.8 seconds)
- PS4 Backwards compatibility (other platforms not confirmed)
- Physical media
- PSVR '1' compatible
- on-chip 3D audio support
- not coming 2019 (no surprise)

I wonder how much longer physical media is gonna last. There's talk about a new Xbone releasing soon with no disc drive. I thought the PS5 might go that route. Maybe there will be two versions.

PS4 Backwards compatibility

good. doing this will save money on remasters. it was dumb for them to quit doing it with the ps3 and emulating them for ps4.

I would be surprised if it has Zen 2, the Zen 2 APU's still aren't even out. Most likely will be Zen+. It's nearing final production.

The chip hit 3DMark the other day and was up from 1GHz to 1.6GHz base clock from January sample, very nice jump.

The Navi 10 Lite GPU was up to a 1.8GHz base clock, which is exceptionally good and double the clock of the PS4 Pro. 7nm really paying off here.

Please, Sony, let us play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games. Don't sporadically release babby's first PS1/PS2 games to PSN. Let us play them all.

He's got some balls talking about 8K. Remember when this gen was supposed to be 4K and neither Microsoft or Sony could even pull off true 1080P at 60 frames per second. Maybe it'll have 8K netflix streaming.

I don’t see how XBox can compete anymore.

Halo is there only hope, but I think it’s too late.
