PS6 To Use AMD Orion Zen 6 CPU + RDNA 5 (UDNA) GPU Coupled With 24GB of RAM

Expert Verified By

New UDNA Tech To Power PS6.

Story Highlight
  • Sony plans to release the PlayStation 6 in 2028.
  • A new portable console is also being developed, using a less powerful version of the same architecture to ensure game compatibility.
  • The portable handheld console will target 1080p resolutions and will be able to play PS4, PS5, and PS6 games.

Sony has been developing consoles for over 30 years, and the PS2 has been its best-selling console so far. After a few months, their current-gen console, PS5, will be 5 years old. Today, Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida announced that the PlayStation 6 would arrive in 2028, although the launch date is yet to be revealed.

Regarding the PS6 desktop, it will use a UDNA architecture, which is the combination of RDNA and CDNA. Moore’s Law is Dead, previously, that there will be two new generations of APUs.

The first one of these APUs will be Orion, the SoC that will power the future PS6 desktop. If we assume the console will arrive in 2028, this APU will provide a mix of a Zen 6 CPU + RDNA 5 (UDNA) GPU, which is essentially the next generation of hardware we now have.

It is said to feature up to 24GB of RAM, which is 8GB more than the PS5 currently has. This may sound like a small amount, but keep in mind that RAM and VRAM share this capacity.

PS6 Portable

The future PS6 Portable will be powered by the APU named Canis. Sony wants to release a new portable device following the failure of the Vita. Although its specifications are unknown, it is rumoured to feature the same Zen 6 and UDNA CPU configuration, but will be far less powerful.

Using the same architecture will allow Sony to make the consoles more similar, reducing development time and enhancing compatibility between the two.

The PS6 portable will be intended to play games at 1080p resolution, which will allow it to play PS4, PS5, and even PS6 games. Seen in this light, and assuming the price is competitive, it has the potential to sell exceptionally well, given that it will outperform the Switch 2 in terms of performance and will be able to play next-generation titles.

Another detail is that MLID states the PS6 Portable might be revealed in 12-18 months, indicating that it would be released earlier than expected.
