Sony will essentially follow Playstation 5 with its next generation home console at some point. Based on the test of its US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) testing on an attempt to achieve activities in 2023, Microsoft believes that its next-gene Xbox console and Sony’s PlayStation 6 will be launched in 2028. A new claim, however, pursues Timeline. , PlayStation Parent Suggestion is ahead with the development cycle for PS5 successor. Chip design that will power PS6, allegedly prepared, and Sony may start producing SOC for testing at the end of 2025.
PS6 chip design said to be ready
This information comes from Keplerl2, which is a reliable leaker, which highlights the PS5 Pro Spakes before the first console is launched. Sports Discussion Board In several positions on the board Negaf, Leikar claimed that the SOC design of the PS6 was completed. According to him, Sony will stop production on the first batch of chips for testing towards the end of 2025.
“PS6 is fully designed and already in pre-verification, determined later this year with A0 tapeout,” Lekik Said On stage.
“Pre-C Verification”-or refers to testing and verification of a semiconductor design through computer simulation and virtual modeling before finalizing it for pre-silicon verification-physical production. On the other hand, the “tape-out”, refers to the final stage in the design process before being sent out for chips for construction on a wafer.
To answer another user, who asked if the PS6 chip would be an N3 derivative (3Nm process) and thus PS5 Pro would not be likely to bring meaningful benefits on Keplerl2. Said“Not necessarily the Zen6 is fully completed and some of it is on N2,” AMD’s Zen 6 chip is considered to use TSMC’s 3Nm and 2Nm procedures and to release in 2026. hopefully.
Licker also highlights the GPU of PS6, Saying It was an initial fork of “GFX13”, mentioning AMD’s RDNA 5 graphics, but was later “Integrated” left in favor of UDNA Graphics Architecture.
Keep in mind, PS5 runs on a custom 7 nm AMD Zen 2 CPU designed with an integrated RDNA 2 GPU by AMD and Sony.
Ps6 launch timeline
Finally, the leikar, responding to a user, who estimated that PS6 could also see at the end of 2026, suggested that Sony’s next console could be launched in 2027. SaidIf the tape-out is started by the end of 2025, the PS6 seems likely to be released at the end of 2027, which Microsoft is likely to the court documents leaked from their FTC trial, with the expectation of Microsoft. A little earlier inserts the launch window.
Timeline is also Sony’s previous console generation bicycle and release rhythm. PS3 was released in November 2006; Seven years later, PS4 arrived on November 2013. And PS5 launched seven years later in November 2020. Thus it would be a safe condition to say that PS6 can come out for some time around November 2027.
In September last year, Reuters reported that Intel lost to attractive contracts to design and create Sony’s PlayStation 6 chip in 2022, which was a significant setback for the US chip veteran’s contract manufacturing business.
