Seemingly in the night, the main brain behind the PS5, Mark Cerny, gave a tell all about the next-gen system to Wired.com. Read the full exclusive here. My excitement is all consuming…
To begin with, the technical specs are not only impossible to understand but just annoying. Here’s a snippet from the Wired piece:
The 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. 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.
See, it’s crazy.
Below is a list of the PS5’s exciting features for gentle weebs:
- Backwards compatibility with PS4 games.
- A better hard drive that will decrease the length of load times.
- Next-level audio!
Of course, the graphics are going to be improved like crazy. A high-tech ditty called ray tracing is all the rage. In my mind, graphics will always get an upgrade, therefore they didn’t make the last.
Anyway, this pleb breakdown should be of help. Who else can’t wait for more details about the system?!
