PS6 development has gained momentum with a milestone

Two credible sources have shared updates related to the development of PS6, revealing that the design of its System on a Chip (SoC) has been completed. According to the well-known AMD insider Kepler_L2, the design right now is undergoing testing, with the first fully functional chip which is expected to be fabricated and tested later this year. 

In a rare update, Sony has confirmed its collaboration with AMD for the PS6. According to a report on Reddit, Kepler_L2 has also mentioned that the PS6’s GPU is based on a variant of AMD’s gfx13 architecture which now is referred to as UDNA (earlier it was known as RDNA 5). 

Moreover, it has been suggested that the PS6 could be aiming for a release in late 2027. This suggestion comes considering that the typical interval between the A0 tapeout which is scheduled for late 2025 and the actual console launch is approximately two years. 

In addition to this, a trustworthy Chinese leaker, known as Zhang has indicated that the UDNA architecture will use the N3E process technology of TSMC. It is expected that AMD will employ high-end flagship graphic chips for the next-generation UDNA. 

While Sony has not officially started any discussions about the PS6, it has confirmed its partnership with AMD. In a recent technical presentation, PlayStation architect Mark Cerny disclosed that the company is pairing up with AMD on technological advancements as a part of a project codenamed, Amethyst. 

Cerny in December stated, “AMD has been a fantastic partner for SIE for many years now, and I’m honored to announce that we have begun a deeper collaboration with a focus on Machine Learning-based technology for graphics and gameplay.” 

Cerny’s statement indicates that AMD and SIE have been in a great partnership and now they have started working together on gaming technologies as well.
