Chinese forum leaker has claimed that AMD's Zen 6, Zen 6 (Medusa) Halo APU, and next generation UDNA GPU will all be manufactured on TSMC's N3E process technology.

1. Zen 6 Halo will utilize 3D stacking for improved performance, N3E.
2. AMD has revived its high end/flagship graphics chips for next generation UDNA (RDNA5) architecture set to launch in 2nd half 2026, N3E.
3. Zen 6 IO chiplet to be upgraded to TSMC N4C process. (Cost optimized 4nm)
4. Sony's future console will similarly utilize chips with AMD's 3D stacked designs. Process unknown.

PS6 is design complete and in pre-si validation already, with A0 tapeout scheduled for late this year.

 

[TrebleShot]

How many PS5s taped together? this means nothing to anyone.

 

[Loxus]

I saw this tweet and thought of the PS6.

 

[SABRE220]

The console isn't coming out until atleast late 2028 probably late 2029. I really doubt it's going to have these architectures.

 

[Gaiff]

I was this tweet

Did you turn back into a human?

 

[DanEON]

The question is, do we need AMD 3D chips to play PS5 and PS4 remastered games?

 

[Three]

Did you turn back into a human?

No an xbox

 

[Loxus]

I'm pretty sure Sony said they'll not delay the PS6 launch because of the PS5 Pro.

I was doing talking to people in the room and was typing the same time.

2028 ... pro is too weak to carry this gen any further

 

[SABRE220]

I'm pretty sure Sony said they'll not delay the PS6 launch because of the PS5 Pro.

The ps6 launch was already geared towards late 2028 and the gen has barely hit momentum really and the game output has been underwhelming to say the least. We barely moved on from crossgen games for the ps4. There isn't much incentive in releasing the next gen early ,as we saw with the pro making a real hardware jump is very difficult right now and they would be well served by keeping this gen going until they can make a considerable and actually impressive hardware jump for a new generation.

That will be the most expensive Playstation ever if true.

 

[RoboFu]

lol ps fanboys upset that Nintendo getting all the leaks they have to make something up we won't know or care about for years.

 

[winjer]

Just because something is on AMD's roadmap, doesn't mean it's going to be on the PS6.
Who ever made this list has no idea of what really is going onto the PS6 and just threw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

 

[Schmendrick]

Here we are at the beginning of 2025 and people already start following "leaks/reports/fairytales" about hardware coming out in 2028/2029 that not even the manufacturer himself knows what will go into, yet.....

 

[PixelatedBeast]

The question is, do we need AMD 3D chips to play PS5 and PS4 remastered games?

It wont hurt to have extra power to drive Xbox games as well.

 

[lh032]

ps6 port remaster incoming

Bro so deep in the console war

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Horizon Forbidden West Remastered is gonna be amazing.

 

[SweetTooth]

Horizon Forbidden West Remastered is gonna be amazing.

Halo CE Remastered will also look bonkers on that beast

 

[coachmcguirk91]

2028 ... pro is too weak to carry this gen any further

Who gives a shit about next generation when this generation will be viable for all games until at least 2033?

 

[Neff]

The question is, do we need a PS6

 

[SweetTooth]

2028 ... pro is too weak to carry this gen any further

So what does that make Switch 2? I know its a hard question

 

[Horseganador]

Although there are almost 4 years left until its launch, it is quite clear that Sony must already know where the PS6 architecture and target specifications are going.

 

[Unknown?]

Bro so deep in the console war

He's warring in his dreams bro!

 

[Hudo]

Not surprising.

 

[reinking]

I do.

 

[SplunkyMunkey]

They can only stick soo much on an apu. I doubt we get a zen 6 cpu I reckon we get atleast a zen 4/5 cpu woth zen 6 features with X3D technology definitely boosts gaming in cpu areas. And with GPU could be atleast 7800XTX or 7800xt level of performance also with the features of 9000 gpu series

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I mean, I'll be day 1 on PS6, but yes, the PS5, especially the PS5 Pro is going to be supported for a very long time.

If the pandemic never happened, if the PS4 Pro got an SSD, I think it would still be heavily supported now. PS4 really got its legs cut out from under it.

The PS5 Digital launched for 400 dollars. Could we have seen a 200 or 250 dollar PS4 Pro? Where would that have put the PS4? 150?

Talk about gachastation...

 

[foamdino]

PS6 is not coming out in 2026. So although some of the tech may be based on these products it will not be this set of products exactly

 

[tTHANOSs]

2030 for ps6. Playstation basically controls when the new console generation starts. It feels like the current one just started with how much playstation studio games are lacking. Nintendo is doing their own thing. Xboxs wants to start a new generation earlier and alienate0
their less than 30 million series owners... well honestly that's something they'd do.

I think the concept of generations has been obsolete for quite some time now. Playstation control when the next Playstation generation starts. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[ReBurn]

It makes Switch 2 completely irrelevant to the conversation.

 

[Shaki12345]

Why are we talking about Playstation 6 while PlayStation 5 doesn't even have games?

Why? What did Nintendo just reveal? A toaster?

I gave up on nintendo a long time ago bro

This console gen is pure shittness in all departmants from hardware to first party software.. so Im already waiting for the next one .. to each their own my boy

 

[llien]

Will it be able to do neutronic radiating terraforming like NV, or will AMD again be stuck on decades old CNN/BBC stuff?

What about beam tracing (beam tracing is to path tracing, what path tracing is to ray tracing), any word on that?

AMD never disappoints to disappoint.

 

[ReBurn]

NintendoToo I guess

If you genuinely feel that way, then you didn't pay attention last year - there were more great games than it was possible to keep track of. What was missing... AAA western slop - good riddance.

Where are the games?

 

[adamsapple]

Way too early for these kind of rumors. Looks like someone just wanted to post something as a reaction to the Switch 2 reveal.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

We haven't even started the generation with PS5 yet... Seriously, Hermen Hulst is the scum of Playstation along with the Japanese CEO.

 

[foamdino]

Where are the games?

I have right now on my backlog or partially done (from last year):
* Metaphor Refantazio (not started)
* Astrobot (just started)
* Helldivers 2 (not really started)
* FFVII Rebirth (not started)
* FFXVI (from the previous year - not finished yet)
* BG3 (not finished yet - PC)
* Path of Exile 2 (early access in December, 100+ hours in so far)
* Labrynth of Galleria (from 2020)

Finished last year
* Octopath Traveller 2 (from the previous year)
* Gran Blue Fantasy: Relink
* Unicorn Overlord
* Trails of Cold Steel (1 & 2) - catching up with the series so I can even start Trails through Daybreak (and trails through daybreak 2 is releasing this year)

There are more than enough games if you look outside the western bubble

That's a lot of 3rd party. Which is my point. Where are the PlayStation exclusive games that I can't play anywhere else (including PC)?

Maybe but info for the PS6 has been passed around for quite awhile already

Some people have the white sheets in hand of target specs

Look at the date of this Tweet

You asked "Where are the games" - there's loads - why get hung up on who publishes them?

 

[Shaki12345]

I am trying to figure out what the point of a PS6 is compared to existing platforms, when even the PS5 doesn't have enough exclusives. Sony needs to make games first and consoles later.

I have all systems and my PS5 gets by far the least attention.

I understand, but this early it's probably nothing past initial design docs or on paper, theoretical, stuff before any kind of actual research is being done, I reckon in my completely untrained ways
