During Sony's Road to PS5 live stream event, they unveiled the next-generation console's design philosophy, as well as some key specs. All this equates to three main changes to the console: developing a custom SSD, updated CPU and GPU with additional features, and more immersive audio. Starting with the first principle, Sony has listened to the developers and will now use a custom 825GB SSD capable of reaching the targetted speed of 5.5GB/s. Aside from that, the PS5 will also come with a new geometry engine that handles vertices and triangles to optimize performance. While they did not unveil a targe resolution and frame rate for games, they did confirm that the PS5 will be backward compatible with games from both the PS4 and PS4 Pro.
