Sony’s Next Console, PlayStation 6, Still “a Few Years” Away; New Graphics Specs Revealed
Sony and AMD detail new AI and graphics innovations for PS6, promising higher quality assets and lower power use with Universal Compression, benefiting all gaming platforms.
- Recently, Sony and AMD released a PlayStation YouTube video updating Project Amethyst and their joint research, presenting three co-developed graphics technologies for future consoles and GPUs.
- Earlier this year, Cerny outlined a multi-year plan that includes Universal Compression, which compresses all data sent to GPU memory to free bandwidth, reduce power use, and enhance fidelity.
- Cerny explained that Neural Arrays will process large screen chunks efficiently, while Huynh described it as "a cleaner, faster, and more efficient pipeline built for the next generation of ray-traced games."
- For now, the technologies exist only in simulation, but the research will feed a PSSR visuals upgrade for PS5 Pro next year and influence AMD desktop GPUs and Microsoft Xbox partnership.
- Console manufacturers often start next-gen work soon, and AMD says it plans to bring innovations to developers across every gaming platform.
