As we draw closer to the PS5's release date in late 2020, it's understandable that the rumor mill is working overtime. But, while some rumors hold a bit more weight than others, there are a few that need be taken with more than just a pinch of salt.
The latest PS5 'leak' posted on 4Chan is one such rumor, supposedly spilling a bunch of information on the PS5 reveal event which is expected to take place in February. The leak, which was reposted on Reddit, claims that the PS5 will be unveiled on February 5 at a PlayStation Meeting event for the media.
According to the leaker, the event will see Sony revealing the console's design and specs, several PS5 exclusives, a renewed focus on PlayStation Now, alongside the console's price and various other features.

The ones who removed the previously advertised linux from the PS3? BTW after the rootkit fiasco here in my quarters the only sony equipment is one (average performing) amplifier and loudspeakers I got for free.

These things are likely to be somewhat customized AMD x86 PCs running FreeBSD. Maybe with some ARM companion cores thrown in. It might be sold for cheaper than you could build a comparable gaming PC... for the first year or two.

PS4 is AMD Jaguar, Fam 16, not much of interest today. But the Dualshock controllers are interesting and pretty hackable stuff, both on USB and Bluetooth. Classic STM32F407 and Qualcomm Atheros AR3002. Well worth of HW/SW modding.

That reminds me, Zen 3 is being designated "19h", for what it's worth:

You would think they would wait for Zen4/AM5 to do that, but there it is. More hype for the hype train.
