With AMD championing PS4 we can be certain that the chip company will be sticking it out for Sony for the Playstation 5.

Something else that might become synonymous with the PS5 is virtual reality. Project Morpheus, a virtual-reality system that works with PS4, suggests Sony is looking in this direction for future consoles. Such technology should allow for truly immersive gameplay, allowing you to really feel as though you are in the game.

PlayStation TV may also be important to the PS5's development as rumors abound that a wireless streaming functionality will be built into the PS5.

However, 4K Playstation 4.5 otherwise known internally as NEO will feature a higher clock speed than the original PS4, an improved GPU, and higher bandwidth on the memory. It says NEO will have eight Jaguar CPU cores running at 2.1GHz rather than the 1.6GHz in the PS4, an improved AMD GCN with 36 rather than 18 CUs running at the higher rate of 911MHz over 800MHz, and faster GDDR5 memory - 8GB at 218GB/s instead of 176GB/s.
