It's a form of spatial audio, and is capable of handling hundreds of sound sources. PS5 also features an entirely new audio engine known as Tempest 3D audio. In fact, Sony never released an all-digital option for the entire PS4 family. The PS4 Pro also doesn't have the 4K Blu Ray player that the PS5 thankfully does, nor does it have the option to go disc-drive free like the all-digital PS5 offers. Even if you upgrade the PS4 Pro with an SSD, it won't offer the same bandwidth available in the PS5. While the PS4's UI design felt seamless, letting you pick up a game where you left off from standby, you'll eventually be envious of the PS5's lack of loading screens. Meanwhile, the PS4 Pro is still held back by its aging HDD. Although the SSD in the PS5 is only 825GB (with only 667.2GB available) - you can upgrade this SSD storage internally - it's a welcome change over the slow, mechanical drives of old. Ray tracing aside, another huge generational leap the PS5 boasts over the PS4 Pro is its solid state drive (SSD) – a long overdue upgrade that PC players have enjoyed for years. In fact, the option to select 8K on the PS5 doesn't actually exist yet, it’s being added via a firmware update at an unknown stage in the future. There's word of 8K support too, and we’ve already seen this (sort of) supported in The Touryst, though Sony only lets you see it in 4K, so it's not quite there yet.īut when it comes to choosing between the 4K vs 8K consoles, know that 8K won't be a mainstream prospect for several years. In other words, ray tracing will make games like God of War: Ragnarok appear more realistic than ever before. But since every 'ray' of light has its own simulated source, only now has the power required been viable in consoles. Found in some of the prettiest PC games around, like Control, Metro Exodus, and Battlefield 5, ray tracing is an innovative way to render light and shadows realistically. The PS5 is also capable of ray tracing, a graphically intense visual technique. Expandable storage: NVMe SSD slot, USB HDD support (for PS4 games only).Storage: Custom 825GB SSD with 5.5GB/s (raw), typical 8-9GB/s (compressed).Memory: 16GB GDDR6, 256-bit interface, 448GB/s bandwidth.CPU: AMD Zen 2-based CPU with 8 cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency).GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency) with RDNA 2 architecture.What that equates is that most games will run at 4K/60, with some games able to achieve 4K/120fps - there's even support for 8K resolution in the future. The PS5 is armed with impressive specs for a console, offering an AMD Zen 2-based CPU and a custom RDNA 2 GPU with over 10.28 TFLOPs of computing power. (Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)
