Buying a computer or game console is actually a long-standing debate among gamers. However, with the announcement of the new generation PlayStation 5 in 2020, this debate flared up even more. So how much does it cost to assemble a PC with PS5 features?
PlayStation 5, which has been struggling with stock problems since its release date, becomes unavailable especially during the holidays. Therefore, it would perhaps make more sense to collect a gaming PC equivalent to PS5.
Assembling PCs with PS5 features
Considering that Sony is working with AMD to produce CPUs and GPUs for PlayStation, it will be difficult to collect PCs for game console money. Especially in recent years, with the chip crisis that has affected the whole world, it has become difficult to find a video card, so it has become a matter of discussion to prepare a system that rivals the PS5.
Is it possible to get the same performance by building a more or less similar gaming PC without buying a PS5? Let’s take a look at the specs of PlayStation 5 first:
- CPU: 8-core/16-thread AMD Zen 2 CPU at 3.5GHz
- GPU: clocked at 2.23GHz and AMD RDNA 2 graphics card with 10.3 TFLOPs performance
- RAM: 16GB GDDR6 memory
- Storage: 825GB dedicated SSD
- with up to 4TB NVMe expansion option Output: USB Type-A port (Hi-Speed USB), USB Type-A port (Super Speed USB 10Gbps) x2, USB Type-C port (Super Speed USB 10Gbps)
As Sony works with AMD for PlayStation 5 hardware, it doesn’t use parts available to consumers. That’s why we have to assemble computers with the equivalent of CPU and GPU parts specific to PS5.
