At the moment, Sony won’t cop to exact details about the SSD—who makes it, whether it utilizes the new PCIe 4.0 standard—but Cerny claims that it has a raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs. That’s not all. “The raw read speed is important,“ Cerny says, “but so are the details of the I/O [input-output] mechanisms and the software stack that we put on top of them. I got a PlayStation 4 Pro and then I put in a SSD that cost as much as the PlayStation 4 Pro—it might be one-third faster." As opposed to 19 times faster for the next-gen console, judging from the fast-travel demo.
Funny how so many people screamed Sonys doomed when they pulled from E3 crying about we wont hear anything from them at all in 2019.
Then Cerny says "Hold my beer"
"Digital Foundry has already begun crunching the numbers on what it expects from PlayStation 5 based on today's report. We'll have that live soon."

This seems they are going back to the arrogant Sony a la Ps3...
Doesn't this just mean it'll run PS Now? I'm interested to know if they actually have any PS5 games at launch if it does. Sony's policy with that hasn't been too great, even with their own games. You can go on to Now right this instant and stare confusingly at the lack of some ancient Sony made PS4 games.Some kind/form of cloud integration (more news to come in this regard)

There's a lot to be excited about from this one article alone. The Spider-Man demonstration sounds impressive, the casual backwards compatibility confirmation, the ray tracing support, the advanced audio, 8K display support, the built-in SSD... It all paints a very optimistic picture.
This is such a fucking Sony way of doing this. Microsoft has had the press frothing at the mouth for months about next xbox, streaming, gamepass, backwards compatibility, Arrogant Sony... And then Sony sends out Cerny, on a random as fuck Tuesday in April, to have a casual fireside chat with Wired where he spills all the PS5 beans.
Never change Sony, never change.
Seriously and I'm so happy tht og psvr is compatible. Sounds like thy are ticking all the right features imo. Ray tracing, the ssd all icing and Cerny hinted to a few other surprises we don't know about. This bad boy is coming out shooting guns and taking no prisoners. Love how Sony does less talking and more showing when tome is right.
Pretty funny shit how they do this.Like, "Oh, by the way....."
Sony absented from E3 to reveal PS5 at own exclusive event.Funny how so many people screamed Sonys doomed when they pulled from E3 crying about we wont hear anything from them at all in 2019.

Next fucking level troll job by Sony if you ask me. I love it.
Now please let that SSD be a NVMe!

When it comes to the speaking heads, so many people confuse quantity with quality. Cerny *could* spend all day blabbing on Twitter, but what's the point if we don't actual learn any new info?LOL so non chalant while the others are frothing at the mouth to attract more ppl to their announcements lol Sony rarely talks but when thy do its gd info and usually comes to fruition. I can't wait!!!
He'll have to ban evade first.Poor Voost Kain. All his threads for nothing. Or will he take it to another level come June? Stay tuned!
PS5 the dream come true, but with all this I smell the $499 console instead of $399.
The way i read it is different. It's probably based on those technologies because you won't reinvent the wheel all the time but they added optimization for load time and streaming textures and assets.People just don't understand that it's not just any SSD. They are usually some form of an M2.SSD or a NVMe drive. The hard drive will look like this.

Isn't Ray Tracing a performance killer?

Not if they want to release first and MS has been pretty clear about wanting to do that next gen.And I think it's why they are speaking about it now, because Microsoft has no time to copy the technology or try to adapt anymore if they haven't.
"No PocketStation backward compatibility: are SONY and PS5 in HOT WATERS?"Poor Voost Kain. All his threads for nothing. Or will he take it to another level come June? Stay tuned!
With no dedicated unit for that... yes.Isn't Ray Tracing a performance killer?
He only creates threads titles with over 100 characters"No PocketStation backward compatibility: are SONY and PS5 in HOT WATERS?"

I was hoping to have PS2 retro compatibility I hope they are considering it.
There goes the notion of next gen not including a SSD drive. Like I mentioned in the past. A standard spindle hard drive is such a hindrance to overall system performance. It would be stupid to continue using it going forward.
Yes and no, imo, everything is a cost vs performance balance.
Do you want a fast boat or do you want a luxury boat with 4 rooms, chances are you're not getting both... especially at normal consumer pricing levels.
This article has nothing to do with cost. Why are you even comparing cost when we have no additional details on what this console is going to be priced at?
Because you said, "It would be stupid to continue using it going forward. "
You made an opinion and all those opinions at the end have to have a pricing component.
Haha it's like they are sending a msg saying "hmmm your console will be what? Check this out and this is lite news. Wait till we really show how it's done" haha
My whole post was about overall system performance....Not how well the console is going to perform on the market...
This joke:
