Sony is preparing the PS5 ... in collaboration with AMD?

As PlayStation 4 begins the last part of its existence, AMD and Sony are preparing the technical platform for the PlayStation 5. With a Ryzen processor at the heart of the future console?

With 80 million copies sold in 3 and a half years, the PlayStation 4 is a huge success, but its glory period is behind it. According to a Sony official, the PS4 "is in the final phase" of its life cycle, as reported in a tweet Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki. If the console will continue to be the main launch platform for games for another year or two, it is now to the PlayStation 5 that Sony focuses his attention.

And it's still his AMD counterpart who would be in charge in the development of the processor. As noted Phoronix site specializing in news on Linux, a chief engineer at Sony is indeed one of the main contributors to a key software in the compilation of code (LLVM) dedicated to processors AMD Ryzen. Simple rumor? A priori no.
Besides the fact that we can not imagine a programmer of a company to work for free for a company B, we know that the links between Sony and AMD are very strong since it is AMD who developed the processor and graphics card PlayStation 4.

AMD is very famous in the field of chips for consoles, and for a while. If the Californian company started with the graphic parts of the Nintendo Gamecube and Wii, with modest performances, it knew how to increase in power with the 3D chip of the Xbox 360. Finally to evict any competition (Intel, IBM, Nvidia) of home consoles: PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox One X all integrate CPUs and GPUs designed by AMD.

Still a success for Ryzen?

According to Phoronix experts, the Sony developer is optimizing the code execution program for first-generation Ryzen processors. What makes sense since the technical specifications of a console relegates the pure performance or technological novelty to the background. What matters most? The stability of the chips and their performance / cost ratio. Domains in which AMD is a master.

It's hard to say 100% that the PS5 will include an AMD chip or what exact shape it will have. But one thing is certain, with its past in consoles and especially its know-how in PC chips all-in-one integrating CPU and GPU such as the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G, AMD has a shot to play. After years of lean cows and CPU + GPU mergers, it looks like AMD's efforts are starting to pay off!
