Sony to Work With AMD Again for PS6 Chip After Talks With Intel Fails

0

Highlights

  • After talks with Intel failed, Sony signed a contract with AMD for the PS6 chips.
  • This continues the Sony-AMD partnership after the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
  • Sony reportedly prioritising backward compatibility for the next PlayStation as well.

While the gaming community is still debating the high price tag of the recently launched PS5 Pro, the rumour mill has moved on to the PlayStation 6 (PS6). Multiple rumours have started about a possible Sony-Intel collab breakdown leading to Sony-AMD finally signing papers.

According to a recent report by Reuters, Intel was in talks with Sony to get into designing the chips for the PS6. The tech giant eventually lost the contract to AMD.

Reports suggest that both Intel and AMD reached the final stage of signing contracts with Sony.

AMD, however, secured the deal. AMD has earlier produced custom chips for the PS5 and PS5 Pro.

The report also highlights how this contract would have been a significant step for Intel, as the company has been looking forward to expanding its contract manufacturing business.

The contract “would have amounted to billions of dollars of revenue and fabricating thousands of silicon wafers a month,” two sources revealed while speaking to Reuters.

According to the report, several factors played a part in Sony finally moving ahead with AMD once again. Other than disagreements over profit-sharing with Intel, Sony prioritising backward compatibility is another reason.

It is being said that Intel and Sony engineering raised concerns that a new Intel chipset might complicate things with backward compatibility for PlayStation. It would also reportedly increase the cost and engineering work to ensure older games run on the new hardware.

Backward compatibility is something Sony has kept their focus on for a while now. It allows gamers to easily play older PlayStation titles on newer consoles.

The PS5 supports most PS4 games. It also offers a library of classic PS1, PS2, and PS3 games. This is done via the PlayStation Plus subscription service.

Intel has denied this characterisation.

An Intel spokesperson stated, “We strongly disagree with this characterisation but are not going to comment about any current or potential customer conversations.

“We have a very healthy customer pipeline across our product and foundry businesses, and we are squarely focused on innovating to meet their needs,” the Intel spokesperson further revealed.

As of now, there are no official details about PS6 or any other development at Sony. However, it seems the brand is prioritising backward compatibility again for the next-generation console.

FAQs

Why did Sony choose AMD over Intel for the PS6 chips?

Sony chose AMD over Intel due to concerns about backward compatibility and disagreements over profit-sharing with Intel.

Did Intel comment on losing the PS6 chip contract to AMD?

Answer. Intel disagreed with the characterization of the situation but did not comment on specific customer conversations, emphasizing their focus on innovation. An Intel spokesperson stated, “We strongly disagree with this characterisation but are not going to comment about any current or potential customer conversations.

Why backward compatibility is important for Sony’s PlayStation?

Answer. Backward compatibility is crucial for Sony, allowing gamers to play older PlayStation titles on newer consoles, which influenced their decision to partner with AMD again.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Apple chipmaker TSMC is well ahead of its production schedule for advanced chips expected to be used in next year’s iPhone 17. The chipmaker is producing the first 2nm chips reportedly for iPhone 17. Now, a new report has surfaced in the Chinese media reiterating this claim and also revealing some challenges.

According to the Chinese media report, TSMC cannot manage this ultra-small process without external help.

The Chou News Agency reported says TSMC will need the help of other suppliers to package these chips and get them ready for installation in iPhones next year.

“The TSMC 2-nanometer process will be mass-produced in 2025, and the advanced process technology will continue to be proud of the group, and will be adopted by major customers Apple and AMD […]

Wafer manufacturers such as TSMC cannot develop advanced packaging technology alone, and the importance of the ecosystem is increasing day by day. It depends on close cooperation with ecosystem partners such as materials, equipment, silicon intelligence (IP) and electronic design automation (EDA), which has gradually evolved into a situation of “group fight” competition,” says Chou News Agency report.

It was previously reported that TSMC demonstrated the first 2nm chips to Apple in December 2023.

A previous Financial Times revealed, “TSMC, which dominates the global market in processors, has already shown the process test results for its “N2” — or 2 nanometre — prototypes to some of its biggest customers, including Apple and Nvidia, according to two people with direct knowledge of the discussions.”

According to the same report, Trial production started in July, well ahead of the schedule.

“Free City said equipment for 2nm production has been brought into and installed at the Baoshan plant since the second quarter, and will enter trial production in the third quarter, which is earlier than the market’s expectations for the fourth quarter. It is interpreted as speeding up to ensure a stable yield before mass production.”

Certain reports also claim that Apple may have reserved all of TSMC’s 2nm capacity. The brand previously did this for the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3nm chips.

2nm Chip Only for iPhone 17 Pro Models?

Will 2nm chips be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max ?

9To5Mac in its report also suggested that Apple might repeat its tradition of reserving advanced chips for Pro models only.

If this turns out to be true, the 2nm chips TSMC producing could be reserved for iPhone 17 Pro models. This also hints at the possibility that the ultra-thin iPhone mostly referred to as iPhone 17 Air might not receive this 2nm chip.

FAQs

Why does TSMC need external help for producing 2nm chips?

Chinese media reports that TSMC requires assistance from other suppliers to package the advanced 2nm chips, emphasizing the need for close cooperation within the ecosystem.

Will all iPhone 17 models feature the new 2nm chips?

There is no confirmation. However, reports suggest the 2nm chips are likely to be reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro models, potentially excluding other models like the iPhone 17 Air.

PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X: Price

PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X: Price

The Xbox Series X currently costs $499.99 (starts at approx INR 41,000).

On the other hand, the newly launched PS5 Pro with a lot of upgrades comes at $699. (starts at approx INR 59,999)

PS5 Pro has already made a place in the most expensive gaming console lists everywhere. The online gaming community was quick to troll the price tag as well.

Those planning to buy must also keep in mind that PS5 Pro is a digital-only device. Buyers will also have to buy a disc drive and vertical stand separately.

PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series X: Performance

CPY & GPUSpeaking of performance, let’s start with PS5 Pro. Packed with the same CPU as the base PS5, there is not much to expect in terms of processing or CPU power. It rather comes with a Boost Mode. This promises a slightly higher performance upgrade.

Compared to this, the Xbox Series X comes with a 3.8 GHz processor, which gives a slight edge to the CPU power but there are no special boost modes here.

The PS5 Pro scores well in the GPU department. It comes with a 45% more rendering power and 67% more computing units as compared to the base model PS5.

At the same time, we have the old RDNA 2 architecture GPU in the Xbox Series X. Though where it might perform better the PS5 Pro is running on 12.155 TFLOPS, which overpowers the base PS5 running on 10.23 TFLOPs.

RAM and Storage

RAM-wise, PS5 Pro runs 28% faster than the base model PS5. RAM number as such remains unknown for PS5 Pro, which suggests not much has changed.

In comparison, the Xbox Series X is equipped with 16 GB GDDR6 RAM.

Comparing PS5 Pro and Xbox Serie X in terms of RAM won’t give any clarity as such because we do not have clear information.

So, let’s look at the storage.

The Xbox Series X has 1 TB NVME SSD storage while the PS5 Pro comes with a huge 2TB storage.

Though looking at the number, PS5 Pro looks like a better choice, but where things change is the price point.

Interestingly, even the 2 TB Series X version of Xbox is cheaper compared to the PS5 Pro model.  Also, what needs to be noted is PS5 Pro doesn’t have a disc drive.

If we just compare both consoles in terms of the number of games in their respective game libraries, it is not hard to see who is the winner.

The PS5 Pro right now runs PS5 Pro Enhanced Games. The console currently has 13 games with the enhanced label. Moreover, Sony has already announced 30-40 titles that are under development.

Now if we compare that to Xbox Series X, the PlayStation does even stand a chance.

The Xbox Series X currently houses more than 448 games even after excluding their range of backwards-compatible games. 

But this is where things get interesting.

If you compare the Xbox game numbers to the base PS5, this number is low.

Basically, what this means is – if you want exclusive games, PlayStation still provides more options and value.

Conclusion

Looking at both gaming consoles from a distance, the PlayStation 5 Pro seems to be a better choice until you look at the price tag. It would been a great buy if it had some more noticeable upgrades for the high price it carries. What we are getting is just AI Upscaling and 2 TB of storage.

In comparison, the Xbox Series X still performs well. Though you might not get as many exclusives on Xbox apart from a few other issues.

So, as of now while we wait for the PS Pro’s India launch, the Xbox Series X seems to be a better option that also saves you some bucks.
