Now That You’ve Seen The PS5 Features, You’re Probably Thinking That What Exactly Do These Means For The Sony Console?

The choice of GPU has been driven by Sony’s belief that a smaller GPU can be a more upright and sprier GPU. The inference being that PS5’s graphics core should be able to deliver a performance higher than anyone may expect from a TFLOPs number that doesn’t accurately circumscribe the capabilities of all parts of the GPU.

The new Custom 825GB SSD will also help in increasing the performance exponentially. With performance rated at two orders of magnitude more and faster than PlayStation 4, Sony’s actual implementation here is something else. The entire PS5’s 16GB can be filled up in just two seconds as in theory it has a speed of loading up 2GB of data in just one-quarter of a second.
