PlayStation 6 specifications leaked online, but they look almost fantastical

If the data is correct, the PS6 is a significant leap in performance, especially in ray tracing and artificial intelligence.

Alleged information about the technical specifications of PlayStation 6 (code name - PlayStation Orion) has appeared online. If the data is correct, the PS6 promises a significant leap in performance, especially in ray tracing and artificial intelligence, although some parameters seem almost fantastical.

• Custom-designed chip (SoC) with a monolithic die area of approximately 280 mm²
• Manufactured on TSMC's 3nm process
• Processor: 7-8 Zen 6 cores + 2 energy-efficient Zen 6 cores (9-10 cores in total, depending on the model). Energy-efficient cores will be responsible for the OS and background tasks, freeing up to 20% of processor performance for games. Frequency 2.6-3.0 GHz, about 10 MB of L2 cache
• Rasterization: 2.5-3 times higher than PS5
• Ray tracing: equivalent to 34-40 TFLOPS, which is comparable to RTX 5090 in intensive ray tracing tasks
• GDDR7 interface with 160-bit bus width. Bandwidth: 640 GB/s
• Up to 40 GB of RAM. Sony is considering options with 30 GB or 40 GB depending on memory prices in 2027
