AMD and Sony Tease Next-Gen Graphics, Possibly for a PS6

AMD and Sony jointly teased AMD’s approach to improving its future graphics hardware performance in a video posted to YouTube this week: compression, aggregation and dedication. Compressing all the data in the graphics pipeline for lower memory overhead; aggregating the compute units that process the data for faster matrix multiplication (key to improving AI performance, including upscaling); and finally adding dedicated silicon to handle ray and path tracing acceleration, necessary to bump up visual…
