According to a recent Gizmochina report based on leaker Kepler_L2 post on the NeoGAF forums, Sony has completed designing the PS6’s system-on-chip (SoC) and is now in the pre-silicon validation phase. This means the core processing chip has been designed and is undergoing virtual testing. The first batch of these chips known as the A0 tapeout is scheduled to be manufactured later this year for real-world testing. Leaker Kepler_L2’s posts on the NeoGAF forums. PS6 - Advanced Hardware As per media reports, Intel lost the opportunity to produce the PS6’s processor to AMD back in 2022. The PS6 is currently rumoured to feature a semi-custom APU from AMD built by TSMC. This advanced chip combines a Zen 5 CPU and a UDNA GPU (formerly referred to as RDNA 5). The Zen 5 CPU is expected to pack 8 cores and 16 threads delivering a significant boost in processing power compared to the PS5's Zen 2-based CPU. Meanwhile, the UDNA GPU manufactured with TSMC’s N3E process will reportedly include features like X3D cache technology, similar to AMD’s high-performance Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. This configuration promises exceptional performance for gaming and computational tasks. PS6 - Gaming Capabilities Sony is aiming to elevate gaming with the PS6 by supporting 4K resolution at 120 FPS and even 8K at 60 FPS. While exact performance numbers are not yet confirmed, the jump from the PS5’s 10.3 teraflops of computing power to the PS6 is expected to be substantial. Instead of relying solely on raw power, the PS6 is likely to use advanced AI-based upscaling technologies to enhance visuals. Upgrades to Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and AMD’s next-gen FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 5) are expected to play a key role in delivering high-quality graphics. As for the launch timeline, the PlayStation 5 launched in November 2020 and if the rumours are true, the PS6 will most likely arrive globally in 2027. FAQs Q1.
