Sony PlayStation 6 to offer major performance improvements, could cost similar to PS5
A new leak from a YouTube video suggests that Sony may offer 3x PS5 performance with AI features and better efficiency in its upcoming PlayStation 6 (PS6). Further, the company may not raise the $499 launch price of its predecessor.
Sony PlayStation 6 leaks Sony is reportedly working on its next-generation gaming console, the PlayStation 6 (PS6). A channel named ‘Moore’s Law Is Dead’ has posted a video based on AMD documents from 2023, which reveal the expected performance and cost of the PS6.
Expected resolution According to the YouTube video, the PS6 is expected to deliver 4K resolution at 120 frames per second with ray tracing. The rasterization performance is expected to be over three times that of the base PS5, and around double that of the latest PS5 Pro. It is also expected to include multiple AI-powered features for added usability and graphical tweaks.
Expected performance The video adds that the upcoming PS5 will have fewer Compute Units than the 60 available for the PlayStation 5 Pro. However, it is tipped to run much faster, as the upcoming RDNA 5 architecture from AMD is expected to bring a noticeable improvement in IPC performance, with better graphical output from each Compute Unit. It also might have either 160 or 192-bit GDDR7 memory compared to the PS5 Pro's 256-bit graphical memory.
