SSD and backwards compatability is great news. I've never had a problem with b/c, just thought it was weird to remove it completely, obviously with Microsofts work on the Bone with b/c has proved its what gamers want, especially as it encourages early adopters.The console, which isn't officially titled 'PlayStation 5' yet, will feature a solid-state drive (SSD), backwards compatibility with PS4 games, and is likely to be released in 2020
Cerny says the next-gen PlayStation will support 8K graphics and virtual reality functionality, too.
Tech experts will be interested in the details of what SSD Sony will put in the PlayStation 5, but so far that remains secret - but Cerny claims that it has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD currently on the market for PCs.
He was more forthcoming with the tech specs of the next-gen console's brain.
"The CPU is based on the third generation of AMD's Ryzen line and contains eight cores of the company's new 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture. The GPU, a custom variant of Radeon's Navi family, will support ray tracing, a technique that models the travel of light to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments," reports Wired.
"While ray tracing is a staple of Hollywood visual effects and is beginning to worm its way into high-end processors and Nvidia's recently announced RTX line, no game console has been able to manage it. Yet."
There's a rumour that Sony are working on a wireless VR headset, but let's hope the current PSVR is supported too.
