We know that it will be released at the end of the 2020, to arrive in the biggest marketplaces of the world right under the christmas time, probably in occasion of the Black Friday, and that will have to compete with the new console Microsoft. But the PlayStation 5, let Sony knows, does not fear competitors.
The simpleness will be its strong point
Futuristic design, advanced technologies, we talked so much about the new PlayStation 5 that we imagine something very similar to the cloche of a spaceship. However the console is focusing all on its simpleness.

The architecture of the GPU is a customized RDNA 2, the memory is 16 GB, the broadband of the memory is 448GB/s.
It has an optical reader 4K UHD Blu-Ray Drive. But what really makes the difference is the Throughput I/O, that, compressed, reached the 9 GB/s. Another element that can make the difference is the clock frequence that in PlayStation 5 is variable.
The “system supplies the right power of elaboration by leaving that the variable frequence of the console manages the work load according to the needs”.

But it isn’t all white and black, the appearance, infact, tricks, and here you have appearing the blue leds that create the reflexes on the white edges.
Everything with matched accessories: the controller DualSense, the Pulse Pods 3d, that support the threedimensional audio and the double microphone with noise cancellation. Even the webcam hd with double lens, that allows to film the game sessions in full hd, the remote controller with the integrated vocal commands and the charge station Dual Sense, they have all the same design.
