Sony Launches AMD "Polaris" Powered Playstation 4 Pro
..Under the hood, the PlayStation 4 Pro features an all new semi-custom SoC designed by Sony and AMD .. with 8 cores .. The GPU component is where the action is. .. based on the [AMD] "Polaris" GPU architecture...
This is an upgrade of current Playstation 4 with substantially improved graphics. It it is said to use the latest AMD graphics (as found in RX480).
The new Microsoft "XBox One S" also uses an upgraded AMD chip.
As noted other times in this long thread, this implies that new console games will be optimized for AMD graphics. Of course, many of those games will become PC games also -- some with Nvidia tweaks -- but, underneath, primarily AMD graphics.
