A recent leak from KeplerL2, a well-known source of information about AMD graphics chips, suggests that two next-generation console chips have moved past the "tape-out" stage. This stage marks the final approval of a chip design before it is sent to a manufacturing plant for production. Once a chip passes this point, it is difficult to make major changes, although it doesn’t guarantee when the product will be available or its exact performance characteristics. According to the leak, the AMD chip selected by Sony would deliver 40 TFLOPS of raw computing power. This would be significantly higher than the next Xbox, which is expected to have 56 TFLOPS. For context, the current PS5 has a peak of 10.28 TFLOPS, and the upcoming PS5 Pro, expected to launch in late 2024, is projected to reach 16.7 TFLOPS. If the leaked numbers are accurate, Sony’s next console would offer roughly four times the raw power of the basic PS5. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s next Xbox, codenamed "Helix," would theoretically outperform Sony’s console by about 40% in terms of raw power, echoing the situation from the current generation where the Xbox Series X (12 TFLOPS) outpaced the PS5 (10.28 TFLOPS) on paper. However, it's important to note that raw TFLOPS do not always translate directly into real-world gaming performance. Actual in-game performance depends on various factors, including the design of the GPU, memory bandwidth, ray tracing capabilities, and how well the hardware is supported by software and optimizations. The 40% performance gap mentioned here may not be noticeable in actual gameplay. Neither Sony, Microsoft, nor AMD have officially confirmed these details. Both the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles are reportedly built using a combination of AMD’s Zen 6 architecture for the processor and RDNA 5 for the graphics components. In addition, Sony is reportedly working on a portable PlayStation console, codenamed Project Canis, which aims to deliver performance comparable to the PS5 by leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize power usage.
