The PS5 should be able to significantly reduce the load times on games, even up to 20 times. This is possible through the integration of an SSD, which will make all the difference with the PS4 according to a PlayStation framework.

Earlier this week, an interview with Mark Cerny, chief architect of PlayStation, offered us first official information on the PS5, whose final name was not confirmed during the interview. Comicbook is back on one of the details that was announced on this occasion: the PS5 will be equipped with a SSD, an improvement "that will make all the difference" and will be "the key to next-generation consoles" according to Cerny .

PS5: record loading times

An example of what will allow the SSD of the new PlayStation has been given: a quick trip on the last Spiderman requires about 15 seconds of loading time on PS4, against only 0.8 seconds on PS5 (via a development kit) . That's about 20 times faster on the PlayStation 5. But you still need to know if it's an average, which would be great, or the lowest data found, which would remain very low. good but would be a little less impressive.

The technical characteristics of the SSD have not been specified. On the other hand, it has been learned that an AMD Ryzen third-generation 8-core CPU etched in 7nm via the Zen 2 process and an AMD Navi GPU will be part of it. All this hardware upgrade will allow to benefit from ray-tracing with compatible games, 8K (with games and compatible TVs, which is not won in the near future) and 3D audio for a better immersion.

The integration of an SSD will also help boost the speed at which the console can offer a rendering of the environment. Blessed bread for open worlds in particular, but also for nervous titles that need to move quickly.
