Rumor: the Chinese taught the PlayStation 5 to mine cryptocurrency

In the past few months, the gaming community has been experiencing a shortage of new graphics cards and consoles. Analysts are already warning that the problem will remain relevant until the end of 2023.

But the Chinese port cnBeta.com writes that the problems for gamers are just beginning. Allegedly hackers were able to hack the console Playstation 5 and taught her … to mine cryptocurrency.

It must be said right away that the information has no official confirmation. But the editors of the Chinese portal published a screenshot sent to it with a demonstration of the capabilities of the Sony tree in a new incarnation.

The PS5 GPU is considered the equivalent of a graphics card AMD RX 5700 XT… And judging by the images, the craftsmen were allegedly able to double the performance of the console.

If the information is confirmed, then miners can start buying consoles as well, which will only exacerbate the shortage in the market. Prior to that, cryptocurrency miners had already switched to buying laptops with new video cards from Nvidia and AMD

Update. Users have studied the QR code that can be seen in the screenshot. A phrase is available on it, which translates as follows: “This software does not exist. Made for fun. Ha-ha-ha.”
