Марк Церни, главный архитектор новой Playstation (пока он не называет ее PS5) поделился информацией о ее технических характеристиках. Данная информация считается уже официальной!

PS5 Official Hardware Specs

Mark Cerny is once again the Lead System Architect.
8 core AMD 7nm Zen 2 based on third generation Ryzen.
Ray-tracing support with custom AMD Navi GPU.
Custom AMD unit for 3D Audio, also aided by ray-tracing, a big upgrade. Hot on the heels of Sony having acquired near-industry-standard AudioKinetic.
Extremely fast high-end custom SSD storage faster than any solution currently available for PC:
Spider-Man load times on PS4 Pro: 15 seconds → 0.8 seconds on next-gen PlayStation. That’s ~19x faster!
Huge practical game changer opening up for new design opportunities.
Technically supports 8K but Cerny demoed Spider-Man load speed improvements on a 4K screen (I would only take this as confirmation of HDMI 2.1).
New Virtual Reality platform strongly hinted at but also supports current PSVR (meaning millions of VR users ‘day one’).
Death Stranding might be a cross-gen title (speculation in article based on Cerny reply).
Physical Media.
Backwards Compatible with at least PS4.
Devkit is with developers and they recently accelerated its deployment.
Four years in development so far.
2020.

Стоит обратить внимание на поддержку ray-tracing. Сам Церни не говорил об этом напрямую, поэтому народ начал гадать будет ли она там реализована на уровне железа или так, как сейчас сделала nVidia - поддержку на программном уровне с помощью пакета Game Ready Driver, позволяющим использовать RT на карточках прошлого поколения. Однако твит художника Naughty Dog намекает на "железное" решение:

Особое внимание стоит обратить на супер-быструю систему хранения данных на основе SSD, с помощью которой удалось загрузить Spider-Man в 19 раз быстрей, чем на PS4 Pro!

Также Марк отметил 3D Audio чип нового поколения, который при желании может помогать с обсчетом рэй-трейсинга.

В приставке будет поддержка новой VR-платформы, но при сохранении совместимости с существующей PS VR.

И про PS4 не забыли! Новая приставка будет и с ней совместима! То есть все PS4 игры можно проиграть и на новой плойке. Про совместимость с PS3/PS2/PS1 пока разговоров не было.

Death Stranding может стать кроссгенной игрой.

Предполагаемый год выхода - 2020.

Может облаками решат проблему с эмуляцией PS1-PS3 на PS5:

A patent filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment earlier this year suggests that all previous PlayStation games might become available via a new, unnamed service on PlayStation 5.

The Japan Platform for Patent Information published the patent late last week, on July 2. It’s a 63-page document filed by SIE through its global headquarters in San Mateo, California, but entirely in Japanese language. Broadly, the patent has shades of PlayStation Now, but some of the specifics are a little more interesting.

Of particular note is the image you’ll see at the top of the page. This is Figure 2B of the filing, and even if you can’t read much Japanese you can quite clearly see the image contains approximations of launch model PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 consoles. The labels read “first generation console”, “second generation console”, and “third generation console”, with the section on the right labeled as “library”.

As can be seen, a large number of game titles across various generations of gaming consoles have been accumulated and made available via the cloud gaming library. As previously mentioned, each of these games can be run on a virtual machine that mimics the operating system associated with the given gaming console in which the game was developed. In this way, users accessing this cloud-based gaming system can easily access and play the game from many different consoles, as well as games from other contacts such as internet games and their cloud. You can also access and play games specifically developed for the base gaming system.

There’s further capabilities noted within the filing. In addition to being able to play demos of these titles, or purchase short, taster versions with instant access, players would also be able to create their own mini-games. The filing suggests players could capture sequences of game play and upload them to the cloud for others to play, or rate and comment on.
