Why? That's a completely unwarranted conclusion. Throughout the piece we never hear any mention that the PS5 specific IO implementation is what has enabled that demo.
If it's just an SSD, why is Tim Sweeney banging on about nextgen consoles and their I/O? Why did Epic just not demo this on a PC with a fast NVMe drive?
Tim Sweeney said:"And Sony really did a fantastic job of implementing a new platform around that realisation that storage could be revolutionised. PlayStation 5 is built not only on a huge body of flash memory, but also a very high bandwidth and low latency framework for accessing it, and for getting it to wherever you need for any type of work
The major innovation with the next-generation console hardware. They have faster CPUs, they have faster GPUs, and that was really important to be able to achieve the visuals that we showed – but the biggest change across console generations is absolutely going to be the IO bandwidth that we're able to achieve with the SSDs that are in next-generation consoles."
SSD performance is reliant on I/O bandwidth but they are not tech same thing.
