- YouTuber Moore’s Law has died has leaked potential PS6 specs
- The console can be run by an RDNA 5 GPU and surpasses PS5 Pro
- The launch window is expected to be late in 2027 to the beginning of 2028
A new round of potential PlayStation 6 leaks has emerged, this time from YouTuber and Leaker Moore’s law is dead.
As reported by WCCFTECH, MLID has shared details of an AMD presentation from 2023, which allegedly contains an overview of specifications for the upcoming PlayStation 6 (Codename Orion).
Judging by the leaked specifications, it seems that PlayStation 6 will be less of a revolution and more of a refinement. It is targeted at lower power consumption than the basic PS5, and although it is reportedly fewer calculation units than the PS5 Pro, it must be able to run faster.
PlayStation 6 is also expected to have AMD’s next generation RDNA 5 architecture. In theory, this should provide increased benefit over the PS5 Pro. The presentation also suggests a higher overall bandwidth threshold than the PS5 Pro via GDDR7. PS6’s bandwidth could reach anywhere between 640-768GB/s, an increase compared to Pro’s 576 GB/s.
With all that in mind, PlayStation 6 – at least according to this presentation – is expected to boast of fairly equivalent performance to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Graphics Processing Unit. It should also preserve backward compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games and could cost around $ 499. The console is expected to send once at the end of 2027 or early 2028.
Overall, although these leaked specifications do not necessarily point to a dramatic upgrade over the PS5 Pro, it seems that PlayStation 6 will still be a decent and more energy efficient improvement. The fact that it can also cost $ 200 less than the PS5 Pro certainly also has my wallet that breathes a little easier.
The PS6 sounds like a similar animal like the next Xbox console, which mid also leaked specifications recently. The difference here is that Microsoft may be targeted at much higher graphic faith and performance with an ambitious goal of hitting 120 FPS in 4K solution.
As always, take all these leaks with a pinch of salt. At this early stage, specifications such as this should be treated as estimated goals rather than a direct confirmation of internal and performance.
