Through the presentation of The Future of Gaming PS5, finally Sony Playstation dared to show the appearance of their latest console. Having a form that looks futuristic, this console seems to have won the attention of many potential connoisseurs of their console. But even so the PS5 still hasn’t shared the price of the console itself, and maybe there are still many of you who don’t know what kind of specifications the PS 5 itself will have.

For those of you who are still saving or considering buying the console this year, you can try to see the specifications of the PS 5 first in this article.

PS5 Full Specifications

Here are the official specifications of the Playstation 5 that have been announced, and compared with the specifications of the Playstation 4 so that the differences between the two can be compared.

	PlayStation 5	PlayStation 4
CPU	8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz with SMT (variable frequency)	8x Jaguar Cores at 1.6GHz
GPU	10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency)	1.84 TFLOPs, 18 CUs at 800MHz
GPU Architecture	Custom RDNA 2	Custom GCN
Memory/Interface	16GB GDDR6/256-bit	8GB GDDR5/256-bit
Memory Bandwidth	448GB/s	176GB/s
Internal storage	Custom 825GB SSD	500GB HDD
IO Throughput	5.5GB/s (Raw), Typical 8-9GB/s (Compressed)	Approx 50-100MB/s (dependent on data location on HDD)
Additional Storage Slots	NVMe SSD Slot	Replaceable internal HDD
External Storage	USB HDD Support	USB HDD Support
Optical Drive	4K UHD Blu-ray Drive	Blu-ray Drive

Based on the above specifications, it is clear that the CPU and GPU specifications of the PS 5 itself have developed far compared to the Playstation 4. One of the contrasting differences between the PS 5 and the PS 4 is the use of storage technology for PS5 games themselves. Where on PS4 they still rely on hard drive technology while on PS 5 the technology used is SSD. With this you will find the difference in loading times which is much faster than the PS4.

This twitter account had leaked showing the difference in loading times that will be present on PS 5 later.

Sony Playstation itself also explained that later, your method of saving games will also change. As reported by the Wired.com article, Mike Cerny, the architect of the PS 5, said that: Later we will have more access to PS 5 data. In practice, PS 5 owners can install their games as needed. You can choose to install Single Player or the Online mode only, and at a later date you can delete one of these modes if you feel you have finished using it.

At its launch at The Future of Gaming Show event on June 12, 2020 yesterday, Sony finally introduced the Playstation 5 form officially at the end of the event. In form, the PS5 brings a leap from the boxy shape that has been used since the Playstation 1 to a more futuristic and elegant form.

The Playstation 5 design was finally announced yesterday. Taking a new design direction Sony seems to want the PS5…

In terms of size, the Playstation 5 carries a much larger size than their existing consoles. But this itself is intended so that the PS5 engine can later work more optimally and without the loud noise that was the problem on the PS4 yesterday with better airflow at the expense of a slightly enlarged size.

Sony also not only brought 1 version of the PS5 because they also introduced the PS5 Digital Edition. Which as the name suggests will not have a blu-ray drive to read physical games. The PS5 DE carries the same design as the regular PS5, but because the drive is absent it makes it slimmer than the regular version.

PS 5 or DualSense controller

DualSense is the name of the latest controller that will also be used as the official controller of the PS 5. Wrapped in white and a little black, this controller is the first part that is exhibited by the Sony Playstation before the console itself. You can see the features below here

Haptic feedback: This technology is a feature that Sony Playstation uses to make games feel more immersive. They claim that later players will be able to feel feedback on their fingers when using this controller. For example, the controller will respond if the character is driving on an offroad or muddy road.

Adaptive triggers:This feature itself will enhance the L2 and R2 buttons in the game, so that later you can feel the difference when you try to draw a bow or use heavy weapons.

Create button: Becomes a substitute for the share button where you can later save your moments while playing the game.

Built-in microphone: Yup, later you no longer need an additional mic to communicate with your friends. Because Dual sense has a Mic already included in it.

PS5 Release Date

Sony itself has not officially stated the exact date when the Playstation 5 console will be released later. However, Sony guarantees that this Playstation 5 console will still be released during the holiday season later this year (Around October – December 2020).

Judging from the previous series where the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 were both released in mid-November, then there is a possibility that the Playstation 5 will follow the same path considering that this date is the right time before the Christmas and New Year holidays. But also keep in mind that there is a possibility that the date will be pushed back due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus.

PS5 Prices from Various Sources

For the price of PS 5 itself, Sony has yet to confirm how much they will charge for a PS 5 console package. As additional information, PS 5 will be divided into 2 editions, namely 1 regular edition and the other Digital edition. Where the digital edition requires you to download the games you have and does not support the use of physical Blu ray.

The lack of information makes many people start predicting what the estimated price of the console will be. Here we try to summarize these prices from several sources where Disc Drive will be more expensive than non-disc.
