Il Game Summer Fest which was held yesterday afternoon was among others the stage to show everyone the brand new version of the graphic engine Unreal Engine now arrived at his farm edition. To do this, a long tech demo was shown that left almost everyone speechless for the graphic quality and the lighting effects very close to photorealism (here you can recover the movie). The news that made everyone even more euphoric was that he admitted that this tech demo was actually running on a PlayStation 5.
Following this information, the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, wanted to confirm that the GPU mounted on the PlayStation 5 is based on the architecture RDNA 2 of the company. His tweet says:
“Fantastic new content on PS5. It's great to see the Radeon RDNA 2 in action. A great new demo from Epic Games. "
Indeed, this news had already been known for some time, however the fact that even today there is no GPU with this technology and that they have not even been presented had raised some doubts. But now we have confirmation.
Gorgeous new content running on @PlayStation 5. Love seeing @Radeon RDNA2 in action. Great new demo from @epicgames ? https://t.co/3NjT8gJyOJ
