Rumour – PS6 Will Use AMD’s UDNA GPU Architecture And Either A Zen4 Or Zen5-Era CPU

PS5 has been out for four years now, and PS5 Pro has barely been out a couple of weeks, which is Sony’s own way of signaling that this current console generation is at least half-way done.

So even though it might feel a tad early, it’s actually about the right time to start looking towards what is still to come, and what PlayStation 6 or whatever the next generation will be called has to offer.

According to a new rumour from a Chinese hardware leaker zhangzhonghao (per Insider Gaming) at least on the hardware side what we have to look forward to is more AMD GPU and CPU architecture.

Specifically the rumour is that PS6 will house the same AMD UDNA GPU architecture that PC players will find in Radeon 9000 series GPU’s, and that the CPU will be either from AMD’s Zen5 or Zen4 generation.

Of course it’s not a surprise that it’ll once again be AMD as the foundation for the console – both current-gen consoles on either side of the blue/green aisle use AMD chips for the CPU and GPU.

It is though interesting to imagine what this incoming GPU architecture could do for console gamers, especially after seeing how even though it’s dependent from game to game, with just a bit of a bigger GPU, the PS5 Pro is able to really improve your experience.

Though this is all still just a rumour, and should be taken as such until we have proper official specifications from Sony.
