There this too that could mean either: a. there's a dedicted asic decompression chip, b. decompressed assets streaming from a fast cache.
Control Developer Reveals PS5's "Stand Out" Feature
Sony Interactive Entertainment has talked about the PlayStation 5 on two separate occasions this [...]comicbook.com
"When it comes to the PS5, faster hardware is always appreciated and will make life easier in the short term, but it's the new SSD that really stands out; essentially streaming will become something that we don't really have to worry so much about and it will free up some extra CPU bandwidth in the process,"
This is difficult to parse .. because (afaik) the decompression was already done by a separate zlib hardware module (on PS4) .. and I'm 99% sure that on HDD assets for streaming are not compressed .. so where is the CPU savings ??
Maybe there is a serial chip that does additional moves to system RAM that was previously done by CPU
