Christian Post wrote that Microsoft is currently focusing on introducing virtual reality in its next-generation system. Sony, on the other hand, might also decide to go for the same objective. The company might substitute its controllers with a more modern device. There are also talks that the PS5 will feature 4K graphics and VR. However, the company is not in a rush to release its fifth-generation console just yet. The PlayStation 5 is expected to become available in 2020.
Neurogadget reported that AMD chipsets might power both the Microsoft Xbox Two and Sony PlayStation 5 when these release. The company guaranteed that AMD chipsets will be more powerful than the current AMD APU in the PS4. The chipset will reportedly be five times even more powerful, which will definitely boost VR and 4K gaming for players.
The PS4 model was launched in 2013, featuring a custom AMD APU that was built via the x86 Jaguar microarchitecture. Due to the build, players can take advantage of games that were previously designed for the PlayStation 3. Sony will maintain the AMD hardware and feature the next-generation chipset. The technologies are said to be applied around the worldwide in all fields by the year 2020, which will make it more convenient for users to play.
At present, the PlayStation 4 features a semi-custom 8-core AMD x86-64 Jaguar 1.6GH processor integrated into APU. It also has a secondary low power chipset for background tasks. The PS4 has 500GB of internal storage and 8GB GDDR5 (unified) and 256MB DDR3 RAM (for background tasks) support. There is also a 1TB variant. The gaming console has various connective capabilities, such as Bluetooth 2.1, USB 3.0, 802.11 b/g/n Wireless and Ethernet 10/100/1000, based on the same Neurogadget report.
Yibada wrote that it is possible for the PS5 to release in 2017. New gaming titles constantly have growing hardware needs, which might spur Sony and Microsoft to come up with new systems at an earlier time to adequately cater to high quality games. Other experts believe that a 2020 release is more likely, since there is still much to maximize on the PS4 in terms of innovation and business.
More updates and details on the PlayStation 5, its specifications and release date, are expected in the coming months.
