 PS5 Hardware Reveal 2020

it feels like yesterday but the ps4 is already five years on the market while some of its biggest and most anticipated exclusives are yet to be released the countless ps5 leaks and rumors all but confirm what many of us already knew this concert in eration is approaching the end of its life cycle especially sony has been suspiciously quiet since last year's e3 after skipping its annual PlayStation experience event as well as this year's e3 showcase for the first time the company's 24 year history many are interpreting song his absence as the calm before the storm the ps4 is in its final stage and the major PS 5 reveal within the next year is pretty much confirmed the next console generation is imminent meaning it's about time to take a look at the latest speculations regarding Sony's next-generation system and try to predict what the PS 5 might be capable of undeniably this consideration has been a golden age for PlayStation five years after Sony's landslide victory at e3 2013 thanks to Microsoft's catastrophic marketing and

business decisions the Xbox one was no match for the ps4 staggering financial success TV TV watch TV TV TV a TV remote TV experience and unfortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity it's called Xbox 360 alright so stick with 360 that's your message if you don't like it if you have zero access to the Internet that is an offline device for instance PlayStation 4 won't impose any new restrictions on the use of pia for half boy that escalated quickly the ps4 has outsold the Xbox one more than two to one and is set to surpass one hundred million units sometime this year the legendary number only a handful of consoles ever reached it's questionable whether the ps4 manages to out sir the Nintendo DS and ps2 but it's safe to assume the console will move past the Wii ps1 and maybe even the Gameboy it's in Sony's best interest to maintain its market leader position but if recent events are any indication this time Microsoft won't hand market dominance to Sony on a silver platter services like Xbox game paths and the great number of newly acquired studios to expand the first-party Network seem to confirm that Microsoft has learned from past mistakes apart from the competition of its greatest rival it will be interesting to see how console manufacturers like Sony react to the influence of new technology and consumer behavior the addition of iterative consoles and the increasing popularity of streaming services make it difficult to predict the future of consoles in what way with the PS 5 be similar to a traditional console cycle and in what way will it offer something entirely new what

exactly has the PS 5 in store for us here are my predictions regarding the hardware prayest services and possible excuses or Sony's next-gen console if you prefer to skip to a specific topic use the timestamps in the description here we go [Applause] [Music] [Music] I am by no means a graphics let alone a hardware expert but based on the current console hardware and rise of 4k it should be possible to narrow down what the ps5 architecture might look like remember that Sony's President himself spoke of the necessity of next-generation hardware he didn't call it an incremental update meaning the PS 5 hardware has to justify a generational leap in order to future-proof the PS 5 it should support native 4k resolution the next generation of virtual reality headsets and new rendering techniques such as real-time ray tracing what all of these technologies have in common is that they are incredibly demanding and can only be used on extremely powerful Hardware as far as native 4k resolution and ray tracing are concerned even current high-end gaming PC's are pushed to their limits some of you might argue that 4k gaming is already a console feature thanks to Sony and Microsoft's high-end versions of ps4 and Xbox one but in reality ps4 pro and Xbox 1x are more like the first step first of all the ps4 pro isn't powerful

enough to deliver a native 4k gaming experience instead it has to make use of clever techniques such as checkerboard rendering the results are astonishing but come at a great cost apart from higher resolution and HDR support the graphical fidelity is pretty much identical between BAE's ps4 and pro the Xbox one X on the other hand can handle native 4k but not nearly as consistently as you would expect current console hardware in form of ps4 pro and Xbox one X should be regarded as a test run only the next generation of consoles will be able to establish 4k gaming as the norm the outdated 8 core Jaguar CPU of ps4 and ps4 pro proved to be one of the greatest bottlenecks develop us this console generation according to recent reports Sony plans to rectify that mistake by implementing a state-of-the-art 8 croisine CPU from AMD obviously we have to take these supposedly --xx with the huge grain of salt however given the hardware of ps4 Pro and Xbox 1x an advanced 8 core CPU seems realistic currently the world's most powerful console features an 8 core 2.3 gigahertz CPU paired with 12 gigabyte gddr5 of ram so it's reasonable to assume that the PS 5 will most likely have 16 gigabytes of RAM and an 8 cause CPU running at least over 3 gigahertz clock speed we have to keep in mind that Sony is primarily a hardware

the base PS 5 should have a slight edge over the base Xbox 2 version if rumors are to be believed Microsoft will offer three models of its next-gen system a diskless streaming only device codenamed Scarlett a mid-range console con named Lockhart and an extremely powerful high-end version codenamed anaconda I'm sure Sony will offer a more powerful incremental update halfway through the console cycle like they did with ps4 Pro but as of right now we have no reason to believe that the PS 5 comes in multiple versions at launch at any rate it's safe to say that the PS 5 architecture won't be a major departure from the ps4 I'm also certain that the console will have a conventional disk drive despite the slow decay of the physical games market removing the option of a disk drive entirely could alienate a huge amount of potential customers who still haven't got access to proper Internet infrastructure and I'm not just referring to development country even in many European countries and the states broadband speeds are quite miserable don't get me wrong digital sales and streaming services are taking over the industry that much is clear but for now consoles and disk drives will stick around for a while longer as far as the design of the console is concerned the only thing I know for sure is that the next PlayStation won't look anything like the

futuristic and ridiculous concept art you can find online all in all the PS 5 design probably will be fairly close to its predecessors there are only so many ways you can design a small black box besides I'm sure the majority of gamers couldn't care less about fancy design when the actual hardware and software aren't sufficient enough the thing to take away from this is to temper your expectations while the PS 5 will be a powerful piece of hardware and a generational leap especially if you are still using the base ps4 model the days of world-changing graphical jumps are over don't expect the graphical gap between ps4 and PS 5 to be as obvious and mind-blowing thank you
