A detailed analysis of theAPU (a component that works on the CPU and graphics card) of PlayStation 5 was posted by the user Twitter Fritzchens Fritz, which revealed some key features about the console's internal structure. The failure of the PlayStation 5 APU would seem to confirm that some parts of the Zen FPU 2 they are actually absent from the machine architecture. Not only. Another user later noticed that there isn't one unified cache for the CPU or GPU. This probably won't mean much to novice hardware users, but there are already rumors that the console is not as powerful as claimed by the developers.

The absence of these components could indeed prove that the console's Sony is not as powerful as it should be. However, we would like to take these considerations with due care. No official and in-depth analyzes have yet been released on the issue, in addition to the fact that this type of failure does not seem to have occurred on such a number of consoles that can cause us to seriously worry, unlike the problems that many users are reporting in these days regarding the new Dualense, which seems to be suffering from drifting (a problem with analogs), which has been plaguing gamers for years Nintendo Switch.
The PlayStation 5 was released in the US on November 12, 2020 and in the UK on November 19. The console has already sold over 4,5 million units worldwide, immediately making it clear that it does not want to lose the console war with Xbox Series X from Microsoft. Despite this, the console still suffers from a shortage of supplies, a situation aggravated by the action of the scalpers who are able to bypass online queues to take orders before regular customers. Until further confirmation, therefore, we suggest that you take the Twitter user's analysis with due care.
