Details of Sony's next-generation PlayStation console has been revealed, boasting a more powerful CPU, GPU, and storage. Mark Cerny, an American video game designer, programmer, producer, and entertainment executive, who is also the lead system architect for the PlayStation, has revealed the details of Sony's next-gen PlayStation console in an exclusive interview with Wired. According to Cerny, the yet-to-be-named PlayStation console (which is likely to be called the PlayStation 5 if we're going to base it on previous releases) will sport a CPU based on the 3rd-gen AMD Ryzen line that uses a 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture with 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD chip also features a custom unit for 3D audio for a more immersive sound. The new PlayStation also boasts faster loading times thanks to a specialized SSD that has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs. Been using the Phenom x4 9950 CPU sent to me by AMD for over a month now and I have been doing some simple benchmarks with it. The Phenom X4 9950 is the latest and fastest among AMD's quad core series. You will notice the ones from AMD and Intel are already capable of supporting DDR3 RAMs. Read more in our articles including "Sony PlayStation 5 details revealed" and "AMD Phenom X4 9950 Benchmark".
