Speculation surrounding the next-gen PlayStation 6’s capabilities has intensified recently. A recent analysis by insider KeplerL2 positions the console’s power close to AMD’s Radeon RX 9070XT, while Microsoft’s upcoming hardware may rival NVIDIA’s RTX 5080. Both systems are rumored to utilize AMD’s RDNA 5 architecture, described as a transformative update surpassing even NVIDIA’s Blackwell innovations.

Earlier reports from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead estimated the PS6’s rasterization performance at triple the base PS5’s output, aligning it with the RTX 4080. Further claims suggested ray-tracing efficiency could surge by 5-10x. However, KeplerL2 counters that AMD’s next architectural leap—its most significant since GCN—will equip both consoles with advanced features, backed by numerous patents indicating groundbreaking GPU redesigns.

Contradicting previous assumptions about Xbox’s performance, the insider asserts Microsoft’s device might outpace Sony’s offering. This aligns with Microsoft’s pledge to deliver the “most substantial technical evolution” in console history. With launch timelines projected for late 2028 or beyond, concrete details remain elusive, though ongoing leaks continue to fuel industry discussions.
