The machine designed by Mark Cerny is liked by members of the sector, as reported by different voices under Sony's ads.
After knowing the final technical specifications of PS5 from Mark Cerny, main architect of the next Sony console, the industry has begun to offer its first feelings with the machine and, judging by authoritative voices from the industry, to be less powerful Xbox Series X doesn't seem like a problem.
"The improvements to the SSD are impressive"
First came Andrew Maximov, former Technical Director at Naughty Dog, who praised the surprisingly fast SSD memory and called it incredible. Now, a graphic engineer from Intel has highly valued the PS5 muscle, which will have a very particular architecture – more different than it seemed with respect to Microsoft's solution – but which will provide many facilities for developers. This aspect will be essential for the development of multiplatform video games.
Seems like Sony made some very smart & sensible choices regarding PS5's architecture. SSD improvements are impressive but also long overdue. CPU & GPU improvements are great but expected. I'm mainly stoked for the possibilities with the new audio engine! https://t.co/xmfIQ23tjR

"Sony seems to have made some very smart and sensible decisions when it comes to the PS5 architecture," says Dietmar Souch, a member of the company. "The improvements to the SSD are impressive," he adds. To put in context, that SSD driven by a PCI Express 4.0 four-track controller is a hundred times higher than that of a PS4, where it operated with a bandwidth of 50 to 100 MB per second. Now we will talk about 5.5 GB per second. In total, there will be 825 GB available to the user.
Finally, it also rates the CPU and its GPU with positive words, although it does not see anything that it did not anticipate. What he expects most, however, is to see what that 3D Sound translates with so many promises behind.
This is what we find, as of today, on the official website enabled for PS5
What we do not have news about is the price of the console, nor its release date beyond "Christmas 2020". There are also questions about backward compatibility, apparently only with PlayStation 4 and with 100 launch titles; in the future, they are expected to be close to 4,000.
For more information, in this report we tell you everything we know about PS5 and all the games confirmed for the console, both updated.
