    Yesterday, Apple announced a couple of new additions to both its iPad as well as the MacBook family of products. The new iPad Pro comes with an optional new keyboard case with a trackpad. It's called the Magic keyboard and will cost you a ton of money.
    That said, the Magic Keyboard looks like a very promising piece of hardware that makes deciding between the iPad Pro and the new MacBook Air a lot harder. You're essentially looking at two similarly sized portable devices. And they both have a keyboard and a trackpad too if you buy the Magic Keyboard for the iPad.

    The Coronavirus, directly or indirectly, has impacted our lives and has, in fact, changed how we used to spend our regular working days. 
    Theatres are shut, roads are empty, malls are vacant, and it seems like everything has suddenly come to a halt. 
    Bollywood celebs have also been severely affected as shoots have been stalled.
    And now in a recent development, the virus has forced actor Ali Fazal to postpone his wedding with his longtime girlfriend Richa Chadha. 
    Their wedding, which was earlier scheduled for mid-April, has been postponed to a later date this year.

    âGiven the current scenario and the unfortunate turn of events owing to the COVID-19 pandemic globally, Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha have decided to postpone their wedding functions to the latter half of 2020 tentatively. They wish for everyone to be healthy and safe and at no cost would want their friends, families, and well-wishers to be affected,â a spokesperson for the actors said in a statement.
    Earlier, a source also told Mid-Day that in the time of social distancing and self-quarantine, the couple had to postpone their wedding plans as many of their guests were to fly in from the US and Europe for their big day.  
    The couple was planning on having their nuptials in Delhi and considering the lockdown, they thought it would be wise to delay their wedding.

    The two went public with their relationship a few years back, when Ali took to Instagram to share a picture with Richa. 
    She had accompanied Ali to the premiere of his film Victoria & Abdul at the 74th Venice International Film Festival, leading to rumours about their relationship.
    Well, the news about their wedding being postponed surely comes as a sad once, however, it's a wise decision indeed by the couple as the virus is spreading at an alarming rate across the world.
    Also, it seems that Ali and Richa are not the only Bollywood couple impacted by the outbreak, as reports claim that Varun Dhawan and his girlfriend Natasha Dalal were earlier looking forward to a wedding in the summer of 2020 but it has now been shifted to November.

    Meanwhile, In India, the number of positive Coronavirus cases is touching almost 200, as of now.
    Keeping all this in perspective, it seems only sensible that these major celebrity weddings have been pushed to the latter half of the year, as safety comes first. Always.

    With the number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus crossing well over 160 (166 to be exact, at the time of writing this article), most people in India are preparing for self-isolation for the next few days, if not weeks.

    People have various concerns about the deadly virus, that has crippled the day-to-day lives of all of us, such as how long does the virus survive in different conditions, how long does it stay in the air, and can the virus be caught from different surfaces and so on.
    Well, it seems that we have some answers, although, they aren't exactly as clear as we would have wanted them to be.
    © iStock
    The World Health Organisationâs official stance is rather vaguely worded and has a very broad scope, for understandably obvious reasons. Their website says that the virus âmay persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days...under different conditions.â The website stays silent on what exactly are the conditions, and for exactly how long does the virus survive.
    The New York Times newspaper studied a paper that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which went in great detail about the surface stability of the virus on different surfaces.
    © iStock
    The study claims that the deadly virus survives the longest on all forms of plastic, and all metals, barring copper. As per the study, if the conditions are conducive, the virus may survive on hard surfaces like those on plastic and metal for about 72 hours or 3 days. That being said, the virus grows less viable by the hour, over the course of 72 hours.
    The virus survives for considerably lesser hours when it is on softer surfaces such as cardboard. Surprisingly, on copper it survives for just four hours.

    One interesting fact that the NYT article pointed out is that although many experts have repeatedly said that the virus does not spread through the air, the study claims that in aerosol form, or tiny droplets that may get suspended in the air when someone sneezes or coughs without covering their mouths, it can stay up for half an hour. Although the chances of someone getting infected through the virus when it is in the air is slim, medical professionals and people who are taking care of coronavirus patients still need to be careful.

    According to a different article published by the Harvard Health Publishing of the Harvard Medical School, the virus, like most other forms of the coronavirus does not survive for long when they are on a softer surface, like fabric.

    However, there has been very little research on the virusâs behaviour with fabrics, this strain is showing a lot of similarities with the other strains of the virus. By a thorough and a well worked out calculation, it is being estimated that the virus should not last on light fabrics for more than 3 to 4 hours.
    Having said that, since there is no proper and extensive research on the subject, many experts are suggesting that we be extremely careful and cautious. The American body CDC or the Centre of Disease Control & Prevention has put up an advisory on how people who need to deal with patients should deal with their clothes.
    © iStock
    First and foremost, if you have been near a patient or are a medical professional, wear a mask and disposable gloves when youâre handling the clothes. If you have a family member who is showing the symptoms of the virus, it is imperative that you wear a mask and disposable gloves when handling their clothes.
    Secondly, under no circumstances should you shake the clothes or beat the clothes vigorously, before they have been put in the machine. Wash the clothes at the highest temperature of water that the fabric allows.
    Wash using regular detergents and softeners, you donât need anything special for that. 
    © iStock
    Third, get them to dry in sun. Avoid your machineâs dryer function as they already are a cesspool of germs, unless you get them washed & disinfected regularly.

    © iStock
    There are a few other things that you need to keep mind. If you use a laundry basket or a bucket to store your clothes before they are washed, disinfect them regularly.
    Also, if ever you get some bodily fluid on your clothes (blood, phlegm, saliva, or anything for that matter) get changed immediately, and straight away wash your clothes.

    As testing as these times are, this is not the end of the world as we know it. Just stay alert and cautious and things should be fine.

    Sony revealed important information about the PlayStation 5 that included technical specifications and advancements since the PlayStation 4. One of the topics discussed at the presentation was the backwards compatibility feature. It was detailed that the PlayStation 5 will be backwards compatible, but unfortunately, not with every game and previous Sony platform. According to the presentation, the feature will only support backwards compatibility for the PlayStation 4 and 4 Pro and not the previous Playstation consoles. 
    During the presentation, Chief console architect Mark Cerny said, "Results are excellent, though. We recently took a look at the 100 top PlayStation 4 titles as ranked by playtime, and we're expecting almost all of them to be playable at launch on PlayStation 5.â 
    © Youtube_Sony PlayStation
    From Cernyâs presentation, we can conclude that not all PlayStation 4 games will be supported at launch, even the top 100, as Sony âexpectsâ them to supported. And this is exactly where the Xbox Series X has a big advantage as it will be able to support games all the way up to the original console and even every game that launched on the Xbox One. We arenât entirely sure which top 100 PS4 titles Cery was referring to but we can expect games like Minecraft, Fortnite, God of War, Spider-Man and other Sony exclusives to work at launch. However, it isnât clear whether the PlayStation 5 will be able to support the entire PS4 library at launch or whether it is entirely up to the developer and publisherâs discretion to have their previous games supported on the PlayStation 5.

    During the launch of PlayStation 4, many users had to re-purchase games on the new console even if they owned it on the previous generation. Battlefield 4 is a classic example where users who were upgrading to the PlayStation 4 had to buy the game again. 

    On the PlayStation 5, backwards compatibility will work in a special Legacy Mode for running PlayStation 4 games. It will also run in Pro Legacy mode to run games that are optimised for the PlayStation 4 Pro. It is somewhat of an emulator that will mimic the older machine while using the PlayStation 5âs hardware. Additionally, users will be able to bring over their PS4 library to the PlayStation 5 and can even play the games using a USB 3.2 HDD. 
    It is somewhat disappointing that there was no mention of supporting games from the PS3, PS2 and PS1 era. While backwards compatibility is a welcome feature, we can only know for sure how it works when we get to test it in the real world.

    As novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) tightens its grip across the globe, the governmental bodies continue to put in the hard labour in a bid to prevent its spread. With the COVID-19 cases rising by the day, the concerned authorities have been left with no option but to emplace travel bans, facilitate quarantine camps and put curfews in place. 
    While the recent turn of events continues to bamboozle the authorities, its preventive measures have disrupted normalcy in the lives of people across the globe. 
    The world of sports, too, has taken a hit with numerous sporting events either getting suspended, postponed or cancelled.

    With no playing time on the field, sportspersons have been pretty much restricted to home akin to the general public. But, while staying at home might seem like a drag, sports stars have found ways to keep themselves occupied and their fans entertained. 

    The 'Toilet Paper Challenge' and 'Stay At Home Challenge' are a couple of unique ways that are being used by sportspersons to not only keep themselves busy, but also spread awareness about COVID-19. 
    With a significant lack of any live sport on the horizon, sportspersons have had enough time on their hands to spread the word far and wide. The most recent sports star to join the 'Stay At Home Challenge' was none other than 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle himself.

    â Chris Gayle (@henrygayle) March 19, 2020
    The Jamaican marauder, on Thursday, took to social media to post a video of himself where he was seen working out indoors in his own uncanny manner. 
    The left-handed opener was seen wearing a Superhero-like costume, which reminded us of the WWE stars, and working out to the tunes of the iconic 'Eye of the Tiger' track.

    A day before Gayle, Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan, too, took up the 'Stay At Home Challenge'. 

    The Indian batsman took to Instagram where he was seen working out in what appeared to be the backyard of his residence. "There is always an opportunity to do something productive and be safe at the same time. Feels great to be in the nature right now and enjoying my workout as well. Stay Strong everyone," Dhawan wrote.

    With Indian cricket coming to a sudden halt and sports overall taking a massive hit due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus, two of the leading men from the modern era of Indian cricket, Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya decided to have some fun with their followers on Instagram recently. 
    On Wednesday, the middle-order batsman shared a series of images from his social media handle, in the first of which he showed off a completely tattooed arm with an expensive watch wrapped around the wrist.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@shreyas41)
    This must have surprised a lot of Iyerâs fans as in all his previous images, the cricketer has had arms with no tattoos on them. 
    It is only upon swiping to see the next picture that the reality presents itself. The second image shows the cricketer taking the same picture from a different angle and you could see that it was none other than Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya who hid behind Iyer and it was his arm that was tattooed from one end to the other.
    The third and final post of the series was a video in which the two athletes could be seen planning the whole thing and sharing a laugh as well.
    View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@shreyas41)As two very important members of the Men in Blue, Iyer and Pandya have become really close friends and their chemistry is clearly visible both on and off the field.
    With the Indian Premier League which was scheduled to begin from next week, the two big hitters were looking forward to a month and a half of action-packed cricket in the twenty-over format of the game but it looks like they will have to wait for at least a couple of more weeks before the Covid-19 scare is over and the Indian league returns in full swing.

    â ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) March 13, 2020This time away from cricket has to be a lot more difficult for Hardik Pandya who has been out of action for over six months, and ever since he experienced severe pain in his lower back from September 2019.

    After undergoing a survey in October, Pandya was expected to make his return to international cricket in Indiaâs three-match ODI series against South Africa but even that got cancelled due to the highly contagious virus.

    Arguably one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket's rich history, Sourav Ganguly carved his own niche in the gentleman's game on the back of a brutally honest approach. Unlike MS Dhoni, whose tenure as Indian captain rarely saw him expressing himself on the field, Ganguly was not the one to mince words or hide his emotions after an emphatic win. 

    Even when he called time on his career, Ganguly didn't change his approach. Often seen in the commentary box, the former Indian captain's honest take and game analysis continued to make him one of the most respected voices in cricket. And, even as he became the new president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), his approach remains the same. 
    Ever since taking up the role of the BCCI chief last October, Ganguly has been looked upon as the agent of change for Indian cricket. The former Indian captain has already taken key decisions and continues to contribute towards Indian cricket in his new role.

    Owing to his professional commitments, the former Indian cricketer already has a lot to deal with but, with the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, things have been too hectic for Dada lately. From calling off South Africa series at home to suspending the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Ganguly, in the capacity of the BCCI president, has been on his toes. 

    But, while he might have taken up more responsibility lately, Ganguly still managed to let off some much-needed steam. Owing to the hazards of the epidemic, which was led to 172 confirmed cases in India, the BCCI recently closed its offices and asked the employees to work from home. While the move was aimed at curtailing the spread of the deadly virus, it served as a blessing in disguise for Ganguly who got a rare "free" day.

    In his latest social media post, Ganguly shared a picture of himself where he was seen relaxing in a comfortable chair. "Amid all the coronavirus scare..happy to sit in the lounge at 5pm..free...can't remember when I did last.." Ganguly wrote on Instagram. 
    Asked to comment on the IPL 2020 recently, Ganguly claimed that the thirteenth edition, which was scheduled to begin from 29th March before being deferred to 15th April, will be a truncated affair. "If it happens, it has to be truncated because if it starts on April 15, then anyway 15 days are gone. How truncated, how many games, I can't tell at the moment," he told reporters after meeting officials from IPL franchises.

    As Coronavirus takes the centre stage in our lives, we have been legit forced to stay indoors and master the art of social distancing. Needless to say, it can be really stressful for people who are workaholics, extroverts and even those who love being outdoors or on the field. But, on the flipside, this time can be used to introspect, and indulge in some culinary activities or even spending time with your partners in isolation - isolation being the keyword.
    Bollywood has also taken a hit due to this global pandemic, with shoots being halted and release dates of films being pushed. But, Bollywood celebs have found a way to make use of this time and some are even focusing on their culinary skills. 
    Let us take you through how these Bollywood celebs are making use of the self-quarantine period, and who knows, it might give you some handy tips too to divert your mind and focus on something productive.
    Salman Khan
    Salman Khan has discontinued working on his big Eid release Radhe, owing to Coronavirus but has started to practice his hobby in this self-isolation period. As we all know that Salman loves to paint, he took to Instagram to share a video of himself sketching. Salman has made a picture of a man and a woman in black clothes. While the man has his head covered, the woman has her face partially covered in the portrait. In the video, he says, âThe way we dress -- this is perhaps the best thing our culture has ever done.â
    He is clearly pointing out the fact that how people covering their faces with masks nowadays takes us back to how people in India have been dressing up since ages.

    Well, the couple is quite opposite to each other. While Saif is using his time to read books, Kareena is enjoying Instagram as she has recently joined the social media platform.

    Arjun Kapoor
    Arjun suggests everyone to take some time to soak in all of it and breathe before we all get back to work. He is also working out at home and to add, he is also using this time to catching up on movies while lazing on his bed. People who love to binge-watch, this is surely the time to see all the shows that we had put on hold, thanks to our taxing jobs.

    Well, you can, without any doubt, spend time with your dogs because they cannot get infected by Coronavirus. For those of you who have dogs at home, spend some time with those fur-balls unlike those work days where you come home to your pets all tired.

    Aparshakti Khurrana
    Ayushmannâs brother Aparshakti has also started to work on his poetry during this self-isolation and in fact, his recent piece tells you to introspect on when was the last time that you had the time to connect with your own self. He shared his poem with a post that reads, âDo you remember the last time your life was as slow as it is today? Weâve been part of the rat race since so long that we barely got time to connect even with ourselves."

    Of late, weâve been listening to many people especially politicians saying âgau mutra has many benefitsâ but never thought that people will actually fall into the trap of drinking it.  
    Just when we thought it can't get any worse than this, some people have even gone on record to claim that gau mutra (cow urine) and cow dung can cure novel coronavirus. 
    While the worldâs scientists are struggling to find a cure to the deadly virus, these people think we already have the cure.

    Also, as bizarre as it may sound, some cow urine drinking events have been organized in the past few days in our country. 

    Recently, a BJP activist has been arrested for organising a cow urine consumption event in Kolkata. Yes, you read that right! 
    Gone are the days when you organised house parties to drink wine, now it looks like drinking âgau mutraâ is the latest trend.

    As per the news reports, a BJP leader, Narayan Chatterjee from Kolkata, went on to claim that cow urine will protect people from coronavirus and also will cure it if people are already infected. And many people consumed cow urine at the event. 

    However, this led to a civic volunteer falling ill after drinking it.
    Consequently, the sick volunteer filed a complaint and the BJP leader was arrested late on Tuesday night, police officials told media. 
    According to a report by The Week, 40-year old Narayan Chatterjee is a BJP party worker from Jorasakho area in North Kolkata and he organised the cow worship programme at a cowshed and distributed cow urine to everyone at the event.
    The sick volunteer said that Chatterjee vouched for the urine to have "miraculous" properties while he distributed the gau mutra.

    Upset with the arrest, the BJP leaders of the state criticised the state government saying, "Chatterjee had distributed cow urine, but he didn't fool people in consuming it. When he distributed it he clearly said it was cow urine, he didn't force anyone to drink it. It has not been proved whether it is harmful or not.â

    State BJP General Secretary Sayantan Basu said, "So how can just police arrest him without any reason. This is completely undemocratic.â

    The news has shook many people on Twitter and hereâs what a few of them have to say about it-

    In the world of football, March is that key month which sets the tone for a thrilling season finale, as it marks the thrilling beginning of a pulsating end to the season. During this time of the year, all the club football leagues are generally nearing its end. 

    With just a handful, yet crucial, games left in the season, the month puts the best clubs to test amid immense pressure to finish on a high. Then, there is the UEFA Champions League, the holy grail of European club football, which reaches into the knockout stages around March and begins to unravel scintillating clashes amongst the best in the business. 
    All of those things are exactly the reason why March remains one of the highly-anticipated months in the otherwise boring life of a football fanatic. But, in what appears to be one of its kind, this March isn't like any other. 
    In a month, where jaw-dropping contests once kept the spectators on their feet, this March was brought doom to the beautiful game with empty stadiums, suspended league seasons and travel restrictions.

    Thanks to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, all footballing action has been either cancelled, suspended or postponed. Whether it's La Liga, Serie A or the English Premier League, football fans, literally, have nothing to rescue them in such troubled times. So much so, that even the much-awaited Euro 2020 and Copa America 2020 have also been pushed back by a year. 

    While football fans have been trying to get their fill through online gaming and old videos of their favourite footballers and clubs, the footballers, too, find themselves with a lot of idle time they don't know what to do with. 
    So, as COVID-19 continues to threaten sporting events and denies fans some slam-bang action, here's a look at what Premier League footballers have been up to all this while:

    Remember the time when people used to say things like âplaying sports will bring you no moneyâ? 
    Well, the athletes mentioned in the list below have not only destroyed that notion with their sheer talent and hard work but are also making unbelievable business records while doing what they love:
    4. LeBron James - Nike
    According to an interview between GQ and LeBron Jamesâ business partner Maverick Carter, the lifetime deal that the NBA star signed with Nike at the end of 2015 is worth more than $1 billion. 
    Forbes estimated that as per the deal, the per year earning for the Los Angeles Lakers Forward is $32 million (approximately Rs. 237.5 crore) and still, he earns the least amount of money out of endorsements in the four people mentioned in the list.
    Total Earnings in 2019 (Forbes): $89 million
    3. Cristiano Ronaldo - Nike
    One year after LeBron Jamesâ unbelievable deal, Portugal football star, Cristiano Ronaldo made the same decision and signed his very own lifetime contract with Nike. 
    The deal, which ensures at least $32 million per year to the Juventus star, turns out to be a bargain for the sports brand which, according to Forbes, generated a staggering $474 million of revenue in just the first year of him signing the deal.
    Total Earnings in 2019 (Forbes): $109 million
    2. Tiger Woods - Nike
    Despite losing some major endorsements due to the 'infidelity scandal' in 2009, Tiger Woodsâ continued to get the support of two of his biggest brands in EA Sports and, you guessed it, Nike. 
    In 2013, the sports and apparel brand went on to extend their contract with the golfer, this time around for $200 million, according to Business Insider which spans around seven years.
    Total Earnings in 2019 (Forbes): $63.9 million
    1. Michael Jordan - Nike
    Michael Jordanâs Jordan brand helped Nike earn approximately $2.5 billion in annual sales. According to the company, the Jordan section alone was going to be worth $4.5 billion in annual sales by 2020. 
    While all the other sports stars in the world, including the likes of Ronaldo and James, earn a maximum of $32 million from their Nike endorsements per year, Jordanâs per year paycheque is worth a whopping $145 million (Forbes, 2019).
    Total Earnings in 2019 (Forbes): $145 million

    The corona virus outbreak has halted normal life, affected businesses and is pushing people to the brink of being depressed in quarantine. While humans are trying to keep each other motivated through social media, the cinema business too has taken a major pull. Here are 7 big movie releases which have been pushed for a long period of time amidst the pandemic situation.

    1. No Time To DieThe much-awaited Daniel Craigâs outing as the good looking Bond spy has been pushed to November from its original release date in April. This is the second time the release date has been pushed from its primary date in November 2019 and this delay will cost the makers a whopping $30 to $50 million hit. 

    2. Peter Rabbit 2The release date has been pushed from March to August now and the release dates are still not specific.

    3. Black WidowThe pandemic has affected the release of this Scarlett Johannson movie as well. The initial release date was around May 1st but now it has been postponed indefinitely.

    4. The Personal History Of David CopperfieldIf you too have been waiting to watch this fictional character come to life, then weâll have a long wait as the date from its May release has been pushed until further notice.

    5. A Quiet Place Part 2Weâll have to wait long to watch the Abbot family wander in terror as the initial March release is obviously not happening.

    6. SooryavanshiRohit Shettyâs yet another cop outing with Akshay Kumar is bearing the brunt and has been cancelled for release for now. 

    7. 83Ranveer Singh fans will probably have to wait till August now to watch this Kabir Khan movie which recreates Indiaâs win from the 1983 World Cup.

    Since Italy is under complete lock-down because of coronavirus, people are staying united by coming out to their balconies and singing and playing instruments with their neighbours. It's one of the most heart-warming things ever and, of course, those videos went viral because people loved the solidarity among everyone during this global crisis.
    Well, even desi people tried to recreate that but turns out, imitation may not be the sincerest form of flattery. A video of an apartment building from sec-28, Gurgaon is going around on Twitter and people find it just straight up cringey.
    Basically, in the video, residents came out to their balconies to sing the Gayatri Mantra and Hum Honge Kamyaab. While all the videos from Italy seemed very natural, the Gurgaon video shows a few women standing at the gate of the society with mics and singing.
    Italy scenes in Gurgaon!

They were not led in singing religious hymns by women with microphones, lousdpeakers and a national flag ...

    Sony finally revealed more information about the PlayStation 5 last night and the deep dive showed the upcoming console's hardware. Microsoft also showed off the specifications of the Xbox Series X a day before and it seems the console wars are about to begin. When comparing the two consoles and their hardware capabilities, it looks somewhat like this:

    Both consoles, when comparing the specs sheet, are very similar as they use almost identical CPU and GPU by AMD and has the same amount of RAM. Both consoles use NVME SSD storage, however one console has an edge over the other. The Xbox Series X is capable of running games at a higher resolution and frame rate than the PlayStation 5. Xbox is running at a higher frequency of 2.23 GHz and is capable of achieving 12 TFLOPS while the PlayStation 5 can only hit 10.28 TFLOPS.

    However, it doesn't really matter how powerful the consoles are if there is no content for the machine. We've already seen Xbox One suffer this generation due to lack of exclusive games and Sony has flourished because of great exclusive games for the PlayStation 4. Both consoles are going to be huge upgrades from the current generation but we haven't heard much about the games for each console so far. We need to see how games will take advantage of the new hardware, especially when it comes to graphic upgrades, resolution, frame rates and ray-tracing. We've seen demos of some of these features in action but it would be interesting to see how it works in the real world with games designed for the new consoles.
    © Microsoft
    Microsoft has shown off Halo: Infinite and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II while Sony has not announced anything about exclusive games for the PlayStation 5. Given both company's track records, Sony currently has an upper hand with their studios and exclusive games which we expect to hear more about in the near future. However, we simply cannot rule out Microsoft's endeavours for the Xbox Series X as the company now has 15 game studios developing exclusive games for the console. We can expect unannounced games to debut with the Xbox Series X and the company is expected to unveil more information closer to E3. 
    © Sony Computer Entertainment
    The company is expected to host a digital event as the world's largest gaming show has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Microsoft's advantage over Sony comes in the form of Xbox Game Pass and its subscription strategy. It works similar to Netflix where users get access to multiple games for a subscription price. 
    Before we jump to any conclusions about which console is more powerful, we need to see the games that will be released for these machines soon. It would be nice to see either company revealing more details about upcoming games, especially in these tough times when we are isolated from the world, thanks to the Coronavirus. “Content is king” on any gaming consoles and hopefully, we can expect both Sony and Microsoft to show off games in the coming few months.

    Microsoft decided to take the wraps off its upcoming gaming console, the Xbox Series X, and detailed everything that we needed to know about it. It looks like Sony had a FOMO after Microsoft's reveal, and it decided to give out some of the details of its upcoming console too.
    Yes, we finally know exactly how powerful the PlayStation 5 is going to be. I sat through the entire keynote last night to filter out all the unwanted (read mostly boring) details and give you just the exciting things that you need to know about the PS5. So, let's dive into it - 

    PS5 Is Incredibly PowerfulFirst of all, I'd like to point out that Sony didn't really reveal the console itself. They just wanted to talk about the architecture and give a glimpse as to what they've been cooking behind the scenes.
    So, the PlayStation 5 will be using AMD's Ryzen, featuring 8x cores at 3.5GHz. The GPU will also be provided by AMD and it'll be a customized version of the AMD RDNA 2 featuring 36 CUs capped at 2.23GHz. It'll also support ray-tracing on the hardware level, which is fantastic.
    © Sony
    The PlayStation 5 will be able to deliver 10.28 teraflops at its peak performance, which is a significant step up over the current-gen console. Sony said the console will also be able to support 8K, although they didn't go into specifics as to what we should expect.

    The PS5 will have 16GB GDDR6/256-bit RAM and we're looking at a memory bandwidth of 448GB/s. Sony is also using a custom SSD for its console. The company is claiming lightning-fast speeds, thanks to the PCIe 4.0 connection. Apparently, the console will be able to transfer a 2GB file in just 0.27 seconds. That's an insane number and it means we literally won't have to worry about loading times at all. The PS5 will also feature an NVMe SSD slot for expandable storage, in case you're wondering.
    Next-Gen Experience © Sony
    Sony says the console will also feature Tempest 3D audio. A huge part of the keynote was spent talking about the audio experience. In simple terms, it looks like PS5 will offer an immersive audio experience, unlike anything we've experienced so far.

    Lastly, we'd like to point out that the PS5 will be backward compatible which means you'll still be able to play PS4 games on it. Also, the PS5 won't be digital-only, meaning you'll still be able to purchase digital copies of the game if you want.
    Well, that's all we got for now. We thought Sony would give us a glimpse of the console, but it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer to see what they have in store for us.
    Note: The thumbnail images of the console are for representation only. That's not the final design of the console.
