Technology
Like most retro revival consoles from this era, the PlayStation Classic uses software emulation to achieve compatibility with the original PlayStation, and as a result has a much different, much more advanced internal technical architecture.
The PlayStation Classic is powered by a MediaTek MT8167 SOC with a quad core ARM Cortex-A35 CPU clocked at 1.5 gigahertz and PowerVR GE8300 GPU. The system has 1 gigabyte of DDR3 clocked at 1866 megahertz.
For internal storage the system has 16 gigabytes of eMMC 5.1 flash. Unlike the original PlayStation, the PlayStation Classic lacks a CD drive.Can the Sony PlayStation Classic Play Discs? https://www.clove.co.uk/blogs/news/can-the-sony-playstation-classic-play-discs Clove Technology 18 December 2020 en
