September 12, 2025 – The next generation of console gaming is edging closer, and details surrounding Sony’s PlayStation 6 are finally emerging. Leaked specifications reveal a console poised for a significant performance jump – potentially 4 to 8 times faster than the PlayStation 5 - thanks to a new AMD Orion chip. However, the next Xbox, codenamed “Magnus,” is reportedly aiming even higher, setting the stage for a fierce battle for console supremacy.
The leaks, originating from the Moore’s Law Is Dead channel, detail a extensive overhaul of the PlayStation’s internal architecture. While an official launch date remains distant, these insights offer a compelling glimpse into the future of Sony’s gaming ambitions.
Powering the Next Generation: AMD Orion APU
At the heart of the PS6 lies the AMD Orion APU, manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm process. This chip boasts:
* CPU: 7-8 Zen 6C cores dedicated to gaming, alongside 2 Zen 6 LP cores for system processes. this configuration is projected to unlock up to 20% more CPU performance specifically for gaming.
* GPU: An RDNA 5 GPU with 50-52 Compute Units, operating between 2.6 and 3 GHz. This translates to a staggering 34 to 40 TFLOPS of raw graphical power – a dramatic increase compared to the PS5’s 10.28 TFLOPS and the Xbox Series X’s 12 TFLOPS.
* Rasterization & Ray Tracing: The PS6 is expected to deliver 2.5 to 3 times more rasterization performance and an astounding up to 12 times more ray tracing capability than its predecessor.
* FSR 4: Integration of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4) technology will further enhance visual fidelity, potentially pushing the overall performance gain to 4-8x over the PS5.
