Once the PlayStation 5 is finally released in the middle and late 2020, it will become the world's most advanced game console. Sony has confirmed that it will be equipped with hardware that has never been seen before. The main parameters of PS5 are circulating on the network.
The new information came from a Reddit article, which was largely unnoticed and only received 38 likes. Anonymous authors claimed that his friend had participated in a Sony internal meeting one day after Wired published an exclusive interview with PS4's chief system architect Mark Cerny. Cerny's interview finally revealed most of the official details about the PS5 to date. The anonymous author uttered a series of specifications, claiming that Sony disclosed these specifications to their friends.
The parameters involved reveal the graphics and computational power of the PS5. Sony did not disclose any rumors about PlayStation virtual reality glasses, which rumors once called this part of the PS5 bundle. Reddit's article seems to be relatively credible. It is consistent with most of the details confirmed by Cerny and is consistent with the rumor specification previously published in Pastebin's leak list, most of which was confirmed by Cerny. It also made a statement to Kotaku news editor Jason Schreier that the PS5 will have more than 10.7 teraflops of power.
Considering that the PS5 has more than a year, these details have room to change. But in fact, we have heard of most of the hardware before, which shows that it is likely to be configured. Some of the statements in the recent Reddit leak seem a bit ambiguous, mainly referring to the exact speed and calculation metrics. However, this performance cannot be officially announced before testing.

CPU: 7nm, 8-core AMD Zen2 CPU with a frequency of 3.2GHz. Currently, the PS4 Pro has a processing frequency of 2.13 GHz, so this will be a big step forward.
Graphics Processing Unit: Custom AMD Navi GPU, 56 computing units, 1.8GHz, 12.9teraflops of power, meaning it can do 12 trillion operations per second.
Ray tracing support: Cerny confirmed that the PS5 will use a rendering technique that creates a very high visual fidelity called ray tracing. This is possible because the custom GPU AMD is being developed for Sony.
Memory: 24 GB of random access memory (RAM), exactly the same as the previous leak.
Solid-state drives: Cerny also said that Sony is working on putting solid-state drives (SSDs) into the PS5, which is much faster than traditional hard drives (HDDs). However, Reddit leaked the article saying that PS5 will use both SSD and HDD. This may be a way to lower the price of the PS5, because SSDs are much more expensive than hard drives. A PS5 powered entirely by a solid state drive will be lightning fast, but very expensive. These two features mentioned will be good news for PS fans and graphics enthusiasts.
Backward compatibility: The PS5 is said to run all PS4 games. Just eject the disk and play it. This feature is essential for attracting Sony fans who still like old games.
Frame rate boost mode: Like the current PS4 Pro, the PS5 will also be equipped with a boost mode feature to increase the frame rate of the game. There is no mention of its features, but keeping the game stable at 60 frames per second will make the PS5 closer to PC games than any previous console.
Sony may give up a completely wireless virtual reality glasses, which may be a huge disappointment for the PS5, the company did not mention it at all. Previously for "PS VR 2" will cost $250, support 2560 x 1440 resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, provide 220 degree field of view, eye tracking, battery life up to 5 hours, including integrated headphones. These rumors may seem to be false. Perhaps the virtual reality glasses will be released separately, but the release date is still a mystery, Sony did not mention this at this meeting. The original PS4 was released in 2013, and PS VR headsets were released in 2016 three years later.
