Sony A7V comes with new chip architecture: Less consumption, faster speed!

I have been told the Sony A7V will have TWO hardware features that will be a first and implemented on future Alpha cameras:

1. The already mentioned dual USB-C port (with the killing of the micro-USB port)
2. This will be Sony’s first camera to combine the AI focusing chip with the main CPU!

Benefits of this chip+CPU integration should be lower consumption and potentially improved speed.

Another source also told me this:

• Sony A7V has 8 stops of IBIS with no “Active” crop, similar to the A1 II at launch
• Expect around 750–800 shots per battery, compared to the A7 IV’s 500–600

Still looks like no new lens will be announced (or max development announcement happening?)

A third source wrote:

the resolution on the LCD and the EVF is definitely way better than A7IV. Could be similar to the specs of the A1ii or A7R5, definitely 0.9x magnification when I tried it.

So that’s regarding the news I got today…maybe in the next hours I will get a more detailed spec list!
