Speculating Sony PS5 & Xbox 2 (Scarlett) Game consoles’ hardware specs 

AMD dominates gaming console world and just recently it was leaked that AMD is set to power a new gaming console in china. AMD is designing it with its custom graphics processors GPUs powering the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro as well as their entry-level models, the Nintendo and the Atari.

The new AMD chip that is being used for the new console equipped with an AMD Zen chip with Vega graphics as well. It could be the same generation and class off hardware that may be going to be used in PS5.

The new Zen-based system-on-a-chip that includes 3.0GHz quad-core CPU supported by 24 Vega compute units running at 1.3GHz. This is a pretty strong APU set for gaming. The chip also includes a 256-bit GDDR5  with  8GB of GDDR5 video memory built onto its supporting motherboard. If you want to know how strong it is in PC world you should know that this chip’s closest computer level hardware could be AMD Ryzen 7 2700U mobile APU. While the ryzen 2700U runs at a faster clocks, it features 14 fewer compute units attached to its Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics. So much faster graphics than the Mobile PC APU version and a bit of loss in CPU clocks.

This new chip is made for Zhongshan Subor, a Chinese electronics firm, to develop a new gaming PC and console for the Chinese market. Seeing AMD Zen & Vega graphics in the console makes us wonder about what this could mean for the PS5 and Xbox Two specs. There have been reports that the next Playstation is also going to be made by AMD and reportedly AMD Navy.

Reports And Rumors On PS5 Hardware By AMD & PS5 Release Date

A Kotaku report states the PS5 may not arrive until 2020 at the earliest, which may disappoint some, but it’s hardly surprising considering how successful Sony has been of late.
This information, reported by Jason Evangelho at Forbes, would explain parts of the matter, when AMD first talked about Vega at its Sonoma event in 2015, it stated Polaris would be a major GCN revamp, While it’s true that Vega makes some significant changes to GCN and was obviously rebuilt to focus on hitting higher clock speeds, clock-for-clock, Vega isn’t much more efficient than GCN was in shipping titles. Comparisons (exteremtech.com) found gains of 1-5 percent for the newer architecture. That was much smaller than the gains we had expected, and it played a part in why Vega hasn’t been as effective a competitor against Nvidia’s GTX 1070 and 1080 GPUs as AMD might have liked.

As Exteremtech reports, AMD’s GPU roadmap has been substantially aligned to meet semi-custom needs ever since it won the PS4 and Xbox One contracts. Pulling resources from Vega to finish Navi is interesting and has some indications in it. Given the relative importance of Sony as an AMD customer, AMD would be in a lot pressure to meet Sony’s needs. The further implication is that Sony’s PS5 will target midrange PC market performance for its 2020 console, though we can also assume that the game system will pack more firepower overall than the PS4 Pro.
