The heart of the PlayStation 5 on the desktop. AMD 4700S processor is Sony’s console platform, not Microsoft’s

The AMD 4700S APU, previously thought to be the Xbox Series X APU, is actually the PlayStation 5 platform.

This is proven by a photo of the APU itself, showing the identity of the AMD 4700S and the Sony console platform.

The confusion initially arose due to the fact that the board on which the APU is located also contains the AMD A77E Fusion Controller Hub, which was once used on a board with an AMD A9-9820 processor, which is the Xbox One platform. Therefore, the sources initially made the wrong assumption. At the same time, the GPU in the AMD 4700S is disabled, and the processor part is technically identical to both the Xbox Series X platform and the PS5 platform.

The test platform is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory at 14 GHz, and the CPU frequency reaches 3.2 GHz. As we said, the GPU is disabled, so this platform should only be used with a discrete graphics card.
