AMD Gonzalo APU in PS5, Xbox Next May Feature Navi Graphics, Zen Cores
AMD hasn’t formally announced that it has won the Xbox Next and PlayStation 5 contracts just yet, but it’s considered a more-or-less foregone conclusion in the industry.
CPU-wise, at least, the new consoles should be far more powerful than the last few generations. We’ll have to wait to see how much horsepower the GPU side of the equation will receive.
These will be custom made console (not PC) APUs -- with the core, thread, and shader counts specified by XBox Next and PlayStation 5. The counts will be different in the two gaming consoles -- so, performance will not be identical.
