Following the official PS5 unveiling by PlayStation 5 lead system architect Mark Cerny last month, our idea of just how powerful Sony's "next-gen console" is reached tantalising new heights, with an AMD Ryzen CPU, Radeon Navi GPU, and super-fast SSD promising to deliver truly jaw-dropping gaming experiences.
However, very little backed-up-with-numbers detail was then forthcoming, leaving gamers to wonder just how good PS5 games will look, and just how well they will run in comparison to Microsoft's next Xbox flagship, which is codenamed "Anaconda".
That though, if a reported insider leak is true, just changed dramatically, with a tip-off from a person who was actually attending an official "Sony meeting", relaying a whole bunch of number-rich PS5 specifications.
The supposed spy's dossier of information was originally posted on Reddit, with user u/17791 revealing that, apparently, a close friend had recently been "at a Sony meeting due to the nature of his work" and that this official Sony meeting "took place the day after the PS5 article went up", which is an allusion to the Wired-exclusive PS5 soft launch with Cerny.

And, while we would definitely take these leaked specs with a pinch of salt, if the PS5 is going to be equipped with anything like a 7nm AMD Zen CPU with eight cores and clocked at 3.2Ghz, as well as a custom AMD Navi GPU that is clocked at 1.8GHz and delivers 56 compute units and 12.9 teraflops of power, and a large 24GB of RAM and SSD, then it is definitely going to be pixel-pushing powerhouse of a system.
That's because in layman's terms all those numbers equate to insanelybig console gaming performance, with 4K-plus resolutions and high 60fps-plus frame rates deliverable.

There are a few threads where PC owners doubt, fear and downplay PS5's potential power and impact in the coming generation. For you guys this is yet another leak reconfirming similar numbers you guys argued blue in the face against.
Some of you self proclaimed expert PC gurus might want to settle in with the idea that PS5 might to blow you current PCs away or have similar performance to your high end rig you paid $1000+ to build, but have exclusives that blow everything you can run on it to dust.
For xbox fans this is one powerful SKU, weaker editions like Lockheart need not apply. All PS5 exclusives games will be coded to the metal to a single powerful unit for the most impressive games with devs getting the most out of 1 specific piece of hardware.
For PS fans still holding on to hope for a $399 system with incredible next gen specs like this, let it go.
