PlayStation 5

The PlayStation 5 is Sony's ninth-generation console, built around an AMD Zen 2 CPU and a custom RDNA 2 GPU capable of 10.28 TFLOPS and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. A custom 825 GB SSD with a dedicated I/O complex delivers raw read speeds of 5.5 GB/s — the architectural innovation that lets games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 stream entire Manhattan blocks during instant fast-travel. The DualSense controller adds adaptive triggers and high-fidelity haptics that have redefined how a controller feels.
