Very little is currently known about the two consoles as of now. Of the PlayStation 5. we know that it will be powered by the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen line and that the GPU will support ray tracing.
The CPU is based on the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen line and contains eight cores of the company’s new 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture.
