PlayStation 5 event confirmed: What to expect from the June 4 showcase

Sony has finally given a date for when it next plans to talk about the PlayStation 5. The company is preparing “a look at the future of gaming” for 1 p.m. Pacific time on June 4. But what exactly should you expect to see at that event? Let’s take a closer look.

What we know about the PS5 so far is what’s inside the system and a few other details. Like the Xbox Series X, the PS5 features AMD hardware. This includes a Zen 2 CPU and a Navi GPU. The console also has a super-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD and a data-transfer architecture to match. But the acronyms and initialisms don’t really matter. What you need to know is that the PS5 has significantly more GPU power and a massive leap in CPU and data throughput compared to the current generation.
