A few weeks ago, after more than a year of rumors related to the Ps5 Pro, Sony announced the intergenerational renewal of the PS5, a console that stands out for a substantial improvement in performance (at least that’s what the theory suggests) and a considerable price increase up to 799 dollars, without disk reader Blu-Ray.
With this launch price, many users are considering different options to buy a PC equivalent to the PS5 Pro, since, if Sony follows this same policy, the PlayStation 6 It could reach 1,000 dollars, breaking a psychological barrier that mobile phones broke many years ago.
As usual when a new console from Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo is presented, and as happens with mobile phones, rumors related to the PS6 have already started to circulate, the next generation whose launch would initially be scheduled for 2028, because there are still 4 years of rumors to come.
PS6 could come in two versions with different processors
A known fugitive from AMDknown as Kepler, states in a NeoGAF forum that the company is working on two processors for the next generation of consoles, but it cannot confirm if this is the renewal that will come with the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, if it is a portable console or if we are talking about a new console.
This is where it is possible that it is Sony who, with the launch of the PS6, takes advantage to launch two different models
Sony has always been ahead of Microsoft in terms of console sales and with the current generation, it’s exactly the same thing that’s happening. Yes, as we mentioned, the price Sony is considering for the PS6 is getting dangerously close to $1,000, depending on how the Ps5 Pro salesIt is likely that it will consider launching a version with fewer features at a lower price.
Until it hits the market on November 7 and we know the level of adoption of the PS5’s intergenerational renewal, Sony will not have data on the table to know which path to follow: a single console or two consoles with two different processors.
A week ago, via Routers, we learned that AMD would continue to be the manufacturer of the PS6 CPU and GPU, winning the battle against Intel, which had shown itself in the project. However, Intel’s financial demands and the possible lack of compatibility with current-gen games tipped the scales, once, in AMD’s favor.
If Intel wants to gain a foothold in the console market in the coming years, it needs to do things very well, and despite this, it is going through a very difficult period in a field that AMD has dominated perfectly for several years.
