A faster, redesigned PlayStation 5 could hit shelves sooner than anyone predicted
The PlayStation 5 is a pretty cool console with a few minor annoyances. Perhaps the single-most irritating aspect of Sony’s new console is the inability to actually buy one before scalpers scoop up every available unit.
That’s not all on the scalpers, either. Sony hasn’t been able to keep up with demand due to a bunch of factors, many of which stem from the COVID-19 pandemic and the myriad ways that’s screwed up production and logistics. Sony blames a semiconductor shortage for the lack of PS5s in the wild, and the company has suggested that a redesign could help ease shortages.
According to reports, the new PS5—essentially a PS5 Pro—would use a new “semi-customized” 6-nanometer CPU from AMD instead of the 7nm custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU found in the current PS5. This would mean a more powerful, more efficient console, though it’s unclear why these new semiconductors would be easier to come by than the current ones. Perhaps it just makes more sense to implement the mid-lifecycle upgrade sooner than later given current shortages. .
