First Details of the Playstation 5

Sony Entertainment released the first details of the Playstation 5 via Wired today! Check out the information below and let us know what you think of the system.

Wired.com had an article about the Playstation 5 today. Sony has been working on the new system and provided the website with the first details about it.

The new system isn’t officially called the Playstation 5 yet and it won’t be coming out in 2019.

According to Wired, the system’s “CPU is based on the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen line and contains eight cores of the company’s new 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture.”

Meanwhile “The GPU, a custom variant of Radeon’s Navi family, will support ray tracing, a technique that models the travel of light to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments. While ray tracing is a staple of Hollywood visual effects and is beginning to worm its way into high-end processors and Nvidia’s recently announced RTX line, no game console has been able to manage it. Yet.”

All of this means, of course, that the new system will have better visuals and be much faster (including less load times). The “PS5” will also be capable of 3D audio!

Best of all though? The new system will be backward compatible with the Playstation 4!

There are even more details about this new system in the Wired article. You should definitely check that out. Don’t expect details on services, price, or games though. Sony isn’t revealing that today! In case You happy with all that info you can pre-order the PS5 and hope it will arrive around Christmas.
