On the 18th at 17:00 in Spanish time (9am in Pacífic), the development leader will talk about the architecture of the machine
Through the official account of PlayStation on Twitter, it has been announced that the chief architect of PS5, Mark Cerny, will make an in-depth presentation of the architecture of PS5 tomorrow on the 18th at 17:00 in Madrid time ( 16:00 in the Canary Islands, 9 in the morning in Pacífic Time). The tweet has not gone into detail about what or how this information will be "provided", it has simply summoned the followers of the account to visit the company's official blog at that time.
Mark Cerny, the father of today's Playstation
Cerny is one of the most prominent and prolific figures in the contemporary video game. Creator of recreational success Marble Madness, programmer in Sonic 2, one of the pillars of Sega's development studios in the USA, capital person in the creation of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro The Dragon, to name a few of his most outstanding hats. But his public role grew especially during the run up to PlayStation 4, from which he took over as head of architecture given his unique position as both a software and hardware expert – and a fluent person in English and Japanese, the fruit of having worked many years in both countries.
Tomorrow at 9am Pacific Time, PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny will provide a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture, and how it will shape the future of games.

Until now, his appearance in the media regarding PS5, in which he repeats role, had been limited, contenting himself to participate in the reports that Wired offered about the future console and that are, for the moment, the main source of information about what Sony has plans for the future. The intervention tomorrow should throw much more light and give us specific details about the power and characteristics of the new console.
Competition tightens
Just yesterday Microsoft was going one step further in the extensive preview that it is doing of Xbox Series X and offered specific technical details on the power of the concola, cycle frequency, processing capacity and the kind of numbers that are especially juicy in times of "console war". Many wondered where Sony was before the constant trickle of information offered by its rival, so it is not ruled out that this announcement is some kind of reaction to what was offered this week. Will we know which of the two consoles has more gross power? It will be one of the informative foci of tomorrow.
