GPU's can do decompression duties.
Plus an 8-core CPU is mid range, the PC has more and faster CPU cores to do the task and maybe even better using a more intensive algorithm.

For comparison, the PlayStation 5 GPU the demo video was captured on achieves 10.28 teraflops, while the RTX 2070 Super hits just over 9 teraflops. Regarding loading and streaming, though, Sweeney says that the PlayStation 5's SSD architecture is "god-tier" and "pretty far ahead of PCs," but that you should still get "awesome performance" with an NVMe SSD, which I'm using." |
Teraflops isn't everything. Thought we were over that bridge now... :/

He even goes so far as to say that the PlayStation 5 is at the forefront of the PC market and will encourage them to use faster SSDs. That is highly unusual, normally consoles lag behind what is possible in PCs, partly because of the cost of a console. |
Doesn't mean that PC's can't have faster SSD's though. The only limit is price.
Otherwise an SSD array that provides 64GB/s of bandwidth an 10 Terabytes worth of storage space is possible.
