PS4 vs PS5: Graphics

PS4 and PS5 are both based on AMD Radeon chips, but PS5’s GPU has more CUs (compute units) and higher TFLOPs (teraflops). A teraflop rating measures the GPU’s performance and it refers to a processor’s capability to calculate one trillion floating-point operations per second. As you can see, PS5’s GPU comes with 10.3 TFLOPs, which means it can handle 10.3 trillion floating-point calculations per second, on average.

In a word, PS5 is nearly eight times more powerful than PS4.

PS4 vs PS5: Storage

It seems that PS5 isn’t upgraded in storage capacities compared with PS4. The base PS4 model comes with 500GB and the later PS4 model with 1TB internal HDD, while the PS5 model is designed with 825GB storage capacity. You might think it’s a disadvantage of the console. However, it is also an advantage. The PS5 storage uses an SSD, which improves the gaming performance a lot. With the fast SSD, PS5 enables game files to be read from the storage device and delivered to the system within milliseconds.

PS5 vs PS4: Games

PS5 is backward compatible with PS4 and most games on PS4 are available on PS5, such as No Man’s Sky, Outriders, Far Cry 6, Borderlands 3, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, etc. And more games will be playable on PS5 in the future. Unfortunately, a few games aren’t compatible with PS5 still and they are:
