This Playstation 5 guide page describes the technical specification of the device.
According to Sony, the new generation of consoles not only offers better performance and higher detail of the displayed graphics, but also introduces completely new technological solutions and novelties. The innovative and unique features of PS5 include, among other things, the innovative Tempest audio system that offers superior 3D audio quality, ultra-fast SDD, and haptic technology in a DualSense wireless gaming controller. You can find the official PS5 technical specification below:

Equipped with such components, the PS5 console will be able to support ray tracing technology, which until now was only possible on very powerful computers. What's more, the console also has no problem with 4K or even 8K display. The upside of the new console is also the support of the so-called. primitive shaders.
It's also worth noting that Playstation 5 will draw a constant amount of energy, regardless of the intensity of the action in the game. The console's cooling fan is also meant to run at a constant speed - all of which is meant to make the console much quieter than the Playstation 4.
