PlayStation 6 leaks suggest AMD Orion APU with RDNA 5 and Zen 6 cores

I don’t think we can expect anything above 4080/5070 if they’re keeping the TDP below 150w - simply too powerconstrained. But it would still be impressive at below 150w

Path Tracing will NEVER be a thing. It just take too much performance for minimal image fidelity gain.

However, 4k@120Hz will become a standard.

Never say never. In CGI, raytracing used to be so slow to render that almost noone used it in the early 2000s. Nowadays not using it would be absurd in most cases. Raytracing, global illumination, HDRi and the likes are the future, no matter what. The only question is when.

Buddy, how can it be the same as a 6700 XT when the PS5 has fewer CUs and drastically lower clocks?

Because when analyzing the performance, both are rendering the same thing. Something called optimization because console games get more of it in a close ecosystem.

So basically getting a 6700XT with an optimal CPU or a PS5, will get you the same experience.

FACT!

If game developers like Sony can fake all of it and render games like God of War Ragnarok, which is the best looking game to date on any platform without implementing Ray Tracing, then your argument doesn't hold up.

Buddy, that's not how any of this works.

We're not doing theorycrafting about "magic console optimization" here. Digital Foundry has done the tests with released games running in real-time on PC and PS5, with matched settings, with a framerate counter on the screen. The statement that the PS5 performs like a 2070 Super isn't from comparing specs, it's from Digital Foundry videos that literally show you the PS5 running games with the same performance a 2070 Super gets. Any "optimization" that could have gone into the console version of the game is already accounted for when you do that, because you're just looking at finished, released games and what performance you get on them.

DF has done dozens upon dozens of "console vs PC" tests by now. Not once, in any one of them, did the PS5 ever get anywhere near 6700 XT performance.

Also this comment shows how unserious you are. GOW Ragnarok is a last-gen PS4 game. It's not even the best looking Sony game (Demon's Souls remake, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, and Astrobot, for example, are all much bigger technical accomplishments than Ragnarok), let alone from any dev.

It's not a questionable argument, it's history. If you've ever designed anything in 3d, you know how much time (hence money) it takes to set lighting and materials so that they could look somehow realistic. With RT tech, most of the headache disappears and the quality goes way higher. I'm not telling you it's gonna be a massive adoption tomorrow, but when you understand how you make a video game, nothing could make you believe it's not gonna happen sooner or later. Of course it's not gonna be as optimized nor as fast, but most people prefer eye candy graphics than 120 fps. Also I'm not saying it's gonna be ngreedya's rtx, but RT definitely.

The PS5 pro is equivalent to a 4070 SUPER with 40% better performance over the base model. Meaning if the PS6 is about twice as fast as the PS5 PRO, it means the PS6 will be faster than a 4090... I have a hard time believing that, but if true... wow...

The PS5 Pro is nowhere near the graphics power of a 4070 super.
In tflops it's literally half the power and with all the extra tensor cores and ray tracing cores and DLSS over RDNA 2 fsr.
The comment that it's on par with a 4070 super is utter nonsense!
