Although many were disappointed by the teraflops present in the new PlayStation 5, "only" 10.28 compared to 12 present on Xbox Series X, central element of the presentation and exalted by many experts in the sector is certainly theSSD mounted on PS5, which manages to reach the 5,5 GB / s in Raw and 8/9 GB / s during standard scenarios. Besides Jason Schreier, also John Linneman Digital Foundry tweeted the new hardware specification. We report below what is declared:
The craziest thing about the PlayStation 5 is the speed of the SSD. 5,5GB / s is only part of the story, there is plenty of custom silicone to ensure the system is not throttled in other areas. It's * REALLY * fast on paper, much faster than Xbox Series X too.
