According to the latest leaks, PlayStation 6 will multiply PlayStation 5 by eight. This means we will experience an unmatched performance in gaming. Although it has not been officially confirmed, if it is, we can say it will definitely create quite a buzz.
As we approach the end of the lifecycle of the PlayStation 5 released in 2020, all eyes are now on PlayStation 6. Although Sony has said very little about the new console, we continue to learn about the vision based on the leaks that have surfaced. An interesting new detail was revealed through a YouTube post by Moore’s Law Is Dead.
PlayStation 6 Will Leave PlayStation 5 Far Behind in Every Aspect
According to the information shared, the new generation PlayStation console will feature a custom AMD APU component codenamed Orion. It will have a total of 9 – 10 cores, with 7 – 8 of them being Zen 6c and the remaining two being low-power Zen 6.
Additionally, it is expected to have up to 40 GB of GDDR7 memory and a RDNA 5 graphics processing unit with 52 – 54 compute units. It will operate at a speed of 2.6 – 3.0 GHz and deliver 34 – 40 TFLOPS of performance. In ray tracing, a 6 – 12 times increase is said to occur, and in shading, visual details, and lighting, levels never seen before are expected. We might see performance comparable to the RTX 5090. Of course, we should also remember that FSR 4 technology will be involved.
The video also touched on backward compatibility. It states that the new generation console will be able to play PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games. Moreover, the removable disk drive claim made recently by Tom Henderson is supported by Moore’s Law Is Dead. This means players will be able to choose how they want to purchase their games. For example, if you prefer to buy your games digitally, the cost of the disc drive, which you will never use, will not add to the console’s price.
Finally, it is claimed that the production of PlayStation 6 will begin around mid-2027. It is expected to be released in the last quarter of that year. We will keep following the developments.
