In August, the first unofficial data on the characteristics of PlayStation 6 appeared. At the same time, comparisons of its performance with RTX 5090 began to sound.
The authors of the Moore's Law is Dead channel grounded fan hopes, which they themselves fueled by showing comparisons of the capabilities of the PS6 APU and RTX 5090 in the videos. In a new video, they clarify: it is pointless to expect real performance at the level of this video card, especially given the low power consumption of the console (160 W).
According to them, PS6 will provide a maximum of three times the performance increase in classic rasterization compared to PS5. But insider forecasts often turn out to be overstated, so the real difference may be closer to twofold. The situation is better in terms of ray tracing — here the increase will be 6–12 times.
Moore's Law is Dead believes that the final rasterization performance of the PS6 will be half that of the RTX 5090 and slightly weaker than the RTX 5080.
«APU Orion is significantly inferior to RTX 5090. It's about half the rasterization performance. (…) Without ray tracing, the PS6 will be weaker than even the RTX 5080», the author of the channel stated.
