Hey! Guys so this blog is about PlayStation 5(or PS5 for short) you must’ve seen the official release trailer on YouTube but if you haven’t, then you can watch it here, PS5 Hardware Reveal.PS5 is a Gaming Console developed by Sony, it was announced in, April 2019 by the lead architect Mark Cerny, in his interview with a magazine named “Wired”.The Hardware specifications were also released in October 2019.
HardwareNow let’s talk about it’s Hardware, so basically PS5 uses AMD’s Zen 2 microarchitecture, (what is Zen 2 you ask? It’s a codename given to Computer Processor Microarchitecture by ADM) with a 8 core CPU, The GPU is based on ADM’s RDNA 2 with 36 compute units,(Radeon DNA or RDNA for short, is a GPU Microarchitecture developed by ADM), both CPU and GPU are powered by Smartshift technology developed by ADM as well,(So, what is Smartshift technology? It adjusts the frequency of the CPU and the GPU according to the activities, if the CPU is running at low activity it will reduce its frequency and it will increase the frequency of GPU allowing it to run at high performance without much power consumption and cooling required). The GPU also supports real-time Ray Traced rendering,(Ray Tracing is a technique basically a rendering technique used to generate an image by tracing the path of light as pixels). It has a new Tempest Engine which is a new audio technology which allows more than hundred of sounds to provide an awesome gaming experience 😆. PS5 has a powerful memory, which is 16 GB of GDDR6 SDRAM( GDDR6 SDRAM offers increased per-pin bandwidth upto 16Gbit/s and lowers operating voltages 1.35V to increase the performance and decrease power consumption).
A custom SSD(Solid State Drive is a Solid State storage device) was specially designed for PS5 to increase input/output rates for fast loading and larger bandwidth. This allows the console to support 8k resolutions. Direct storage for games is available through an NVM Express(NVMe) M.2 port, while external storage can be made available through USB compatible drives. The system also includes 4k Compatible Ultra HD Blu-ray Optical drive.
DualSense ControllersDualSense Controllers were revealed on April 7, 2020, they are basically based on Dualshock controllers from PS4, but there are some differences between the two, Like the DualSense Controller is slightly bigger as compared to the Dualshock controller, it also have haptic feedback which according to Sony provides you with some awesome sensation for a different Gaming experience, it also contains adaptive triggers in L2 and R2 buttons,so you will feel the tension of the string while shooting an arrow from your bow, and even every gun will feel different, from your DualSense Controller. The controller also have a built-in microphone in order for you to chat to another player just from your controller(Cool isn’t it 😆), the touch pad are also updated with extra grips so now you don’t have to worry about your slippery and sweaty fingers anymore (Um… We’ll see that😐, ’cause my fingers are so slippery even my eraser slips from my hand😣).Anyways, so the controller have an USB-C connectivity,(USB-C is a 24 pin USB connector system), it has a powerful battery, and a Audio jack😁.

PriceNow let’s talk about what the price is going to be? Hmm…, So PS5 will be available in two versions first will be the Standard versions and the other being the Digital version which lacks the Ultra HD Blu-ray drive. Eventually the Standard version will be more expensive as compared to the Digital version, the price of the Standard version will vary from 499$~599$ which is around ₹37,759~₹45,326 and the price of the Digital version will vary from 299$~399$ which is around ₹22,625~₹30,192. So you will see at least 200~100 dollar difference between the two.

So that’s pretty much it for this blog the release date is not announced officially till yet but according to Sony it will be available in Holiday 2020(or late 2020🙄)So, we’ll have to wait till the official release date is announced. I guess it will be available in the Christmas holidays which will be kinda cool if you ask me.
