The PS6 is rumored to have some significant performance gains over the PS5 generation PlayStation consoles, with several rumors having mentioned everything from increased ray tracing performance to more capable hardware and new RDNA architecture being the core of the new chipset from AMD. That being said, everything is still speculation, and won’t be confirmed, or at least as good as confirmed gets without an official announcement from Sony, until the console is a lot closer to launch.
With all of that in mind, the latest details surrounding the PS6 and its performance gains are less about new information and seemingly more about the dispute that has now broken out between two leakers, with one calling out the other for incorrect information.
The PS6 performance gains might not be as big as people think
It’s really not going to be possible to know specifically how much better the PS6 going to be when it comes to performance, not in the full scope, until it’s here and people are able to use it in the same form customers will when they boot it up for the first time. Still, it’s possible to get a glimpse into what Sony will be offering with this new hardware.
That’s what’s been happening for months as leakers like KeplerL2 on the Neogaf forums, and Moore’s Law is Dead on YouTube, have discussed leaked details about some of the specs as well as ray tracing capabilities compared to the current-gen consoles. Now, Moore’s Law is Dead is being disputed by KeplerL2, with the latter suggesting that the console won’t produce 10x the ray tracing performance, but rather more like 3x. Moore’s Law is Dead states that this his statements are being misrepresented.
The whole dispute seems to boil down to KeplerL2 thinking Moore’s Law is Dead had stated that the ray tracing performance increase is also translating to the same increase for frames per second. That doesn’t seem to be the case though. At the end of the day, no one likely knows how performance will actually be or how it will feel. The console is still too far away for all that. Aside from performance speculation, the PS6 is rumored to come in two different console variations in addition to the handheld, suggesting three different options for a way to play PS6 games.
