Only days aft the PS5 Pro was officially announced, rumours suggest that Sony has already settled connected the exertion for usage successful the PS6.
Given astir consoles past for astir six years, earlier they’re superseded, nether mean circumstances it would beryllium tenable to expect the PlayStation 6 to beryllium released astir 2026, and for elaborate rumours, and possibly adjacent authoritative hints, to commencement circulating close astir now.
Many expected that the dilatory commencement to this generation, caused by the pandemic, would hold that timetable by a twelvemonth oregon 2 but that doesn’t look to beryllium happening astatine all. Sony has already been talking astir the PlayStation 6 this week and present a elaborate rumour suggests they’ve made a woody with AMD to make the adjacent gen console’s halfway hardware technology.
Information from Reuters suggests that Intel was primitively nether information to plan and fabricate the PlayStation 6’s main chips, but that Sony has yet decided to spell with AMD – who already marque the chips for the PlayStation 5.
Supposedly, some AMD and Intel bid for the work, with Broadcom besides progressive astatine an earlier signifier of the process.
Rather than AMD being picked due to the fact that of its greater level of acquisition successful the games industry, seemingly the superior sticking constituent betwixt Sony and Intel was simply however large a chopped of profits the second was entitled to.
A woody was ne'er reached, and truthful Sony went with the cheaper AMD option. However, imaginable problems with backwards compatibility, if Sony had switched to Intel technology, was besides a origin – not that it would’ve been impossible, but it would’ve been much expensive.
It’s not wholly wide wherever successful the process Sony is present but seemingly the discussions betwixt Sony and Intel ‘took months successful 2022’.
That suggests that a motorboat of the PlayStation 6 wrong the adjacent 2 to 3 years is precise likely, particularly arsenic Microsoft has already announced a adjacent gen Xbox and Sony volition not privation to beryllium caught retired by that.
The Reuters article is really much funny successful the Intel broadside of the story, and however this volition upset their plans to go a declaration shaper similar AMD – a treble stroke fixed they are already losing retired to the institution successful presumption of chips intended for AI use.
If these details are leaking retired astatine this stage, and fixed however overmuch close accusation was known astir the PS5 Pro for months successful advance, it seems inevitable that we’ll beryllium learning a batch much astir the PlayStation 6 successful the adjacent future.
