About that:It means they dont have to compress content to fit into the crappy 50MB/s the old laptop drives had.
Less compression means lower CPU usage to decompress, and consoles are always CPU limited
Sadly this means devs will just be lazy and give us 100GB+ games, but hey they'll load faster!
PlayStation 5 is implementing Kraken, with hardware-accelerated de-compression via fixed-function hardware built directly into the main SoC.
Sony Reveals PS5 Hardware: RDNA2 Raytracing, 16 GB GDDR6, 6 GB/s SSD, 2304 GPU Cores
Sony in a YouTube stream keynote by PlayStation 5 lead system architect Mark Cerny, detailed the upcoming entertainment system's hardware. There are three key areas where the company has invested heavily in driving forward the platform by "balancing revolutionary and evolutionary" technologies...www.techpowerup.com
Though, I don't know if devs are interested or not in using Kraken or any kind of compression if general. Or if Sony can force it anyway through SDK or whatever.
