Unfortunately we hit a wall with TDP due to the dies of the APU's and GPU's consisting of RT/AI cores.
Also they use unified memory for a reason its faster, so they will not have separate RAM vs VRAM.
IF consoles get release 2027 they would need to be in production by the end of the year meaning the hardware would be what we already have due to pricing, yields and production... So I will play along with that rule set.
| PS6 |
|---|
| RAM | 20 GB GDDR7 |
| PROCESSOR | Zen 5 10 core 20 thread |
| STORAGE | 1 TB NVME GEN4 |
| GPU | 80 CU RDNA 4 |
| Price | $649 |
The TFLOPS are based on the core clocks and power delivery, its why the PS5 Pro has 64 CU but is at 16TFLOPS but a RX 9070 XT is 64 CU but is at 48 TFLOPS.
A 70 TFLOP GPU on a APU?... Would be a 400-500w system, meaning you would need a 600w PSU.
Expect 80 CU's on a APU for a 200-300w power delivery to be around 28-34 TFLOPS.
Similar to PS4 pro vs PS5... Its a 2x jump in TFLOPS, but newer architecture and more performance per W from CPU and GPU.
I was right with my PS5/XSX estimates also... Its rather predictable, consoles take 1 year to mass produce and 1 year of working along side the APU development and they have limits on size, power draw and price. So if it releases in 2027 it means they are developing now meaning what we have now is what they will use and they are stuck with the TDP of the hardware available RDNA 4 and Zen 5 APU at 350-400w PSU meaning they will have to draw at 70% of that total PSU for longevity and stability so a 200-300w power draw.
