  • We've played a bit of Spider-Man, caught up on sleep, and now it's time to dismantle this PS5. The last fully-fledged, whole-number PlayStation launch was way back in November, 2013, so we're pretty excited. Here's what our gently-used system is packing:

  • AMD custom 8-core / 16-thread 3.5 GHz Zen 2 CPU

  • AMD custom RDNA 2 GPU (2230 MHz with 36 compute units)

  • 16 GB GDDR6 RAM

  • 825 GB of SSD storage (plus an m.2 SSD expansion slot)

  • HDMI 2.1 connectivity with support for 8K video at 60 Hz, or 4K at 120 Hz

  • The final spec is an important one: do we tear down the disc-less Digital Edition, or the more expensive one with the 4K UHD Blu-ray drive?

  • We flip a coin to decide, and quickly lose it in the disc drive slot. Guess it'll be that one, then.
