in #amd6 years ago

Sony has not officially confirmed the presence of the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console, the PS5.

Even so, no official news hardware or features that Sony will present into the game console, even make a lot of curious gamers.

The latest news, PlayStation 5 will use a processor and GPU (graphics card) designed specifically by AMD, the Zen and Navi.

Launched on Wednesday (20/06/2018), Sony chose to use the processor and a new graphics card made by AMD for the next generation console.

This is the second time Sony is rumored to be using the latest hardware technology owned by AMD.

Sony's collaboration with AMD for Navi GPU has been on the internet for a long time, or more precisely since King Koduri has served as Radeon Technologies Group's boss.

The report also did not specify in detail whether AMD will assemble a dedicated Zen-based system-on-chip (SoC) system or Sony will use other components for the PS5's 'brain'.

Until now, it is still not known whether the GPU installed in the PS5 console will be integrated or separated.

Since the Japanese company is still not open voice, it is unlikely that the PS5 will appear on the market in the near future.

Furthermore, SemiAccurate had leaked information specifications from the console made by Sony.

In addition, there are also predictions that call the PS5 will be introduced at the end of this year.

However, from the latest reports, the brand-new console reportedly will not release in the near future.

As quoted from Kotaku, Thursday (4/12/2018), the console is unlikely to release, at least until 2020. If the news is true, the PS5 means it will release within five years after the PS4 was introduced.

While news from some game developers mentioned there are some plans about the presence of this new Sony console.

A number of developers said the console will release in 2019, but not a few who mention will release this year. They say there is a chance that the plan will change every year.
