System architect Mark Cerny gives us our first taste of the Sony PlayStation 5’s capabilities, and it’s more PC-like than ever.
The PlayStation 5 will pack another of AMD’s all-in-one APUs, which blend CPU and GPU cores onto a single chip, but it’ll feature technology that even PC gamers can’t get their grubby paws on yet. Sony’s console will revolve around AMD’s third-generation Ryzen CPU cores, which are expected to launch for the PC market this summer. AMD’s first- and second-gen Ryzen processors kicked all kinds of ass, and this newest iteration will be the first mainstream x86 architecture built using the cutting-edge 7nm manufacturing process.
