Documents reportedly originating from Sony Interactive Entertainment's hardware division have surfaced online, detailing the architecture of the PlayStation 6. The leak, first shared on a Korean tech forum before spreading to social media, describes a system built on AMD's next-generation RDNA 5 graphics architecture paired with Zen 6 CPU cores.
According to the documents, the PS6 will feature 32GB of unified GDDR7 memory with a bandwidth of 1.2 TB/s — roughly triple the throughput of the PS5. The custom GPU is described as having 80 compute units, a significant jump from the PS5's 36 CUs, with full hardware-accelerated ray tracing and neural rendering capabilities.
Perhaps most interesting is the mention of an on-die AI co-processor designed specifically for real-time asset generation and DLSS-like upscaling. This aligns with recent industry trends toward machine-learning-driven graphics pipelines.
Sony has not commented on the leak. However, multiple analysts have noted that the specifications align with AMD's publicly known roadmap for their 2027 silicon portfolio. The PS6 is widely expected to launch in holiday 2027 alongside a refreshed PlayStation VR headset.
