PlayStation 6 performance estimates: double PS5 Pro, RTX 4090 or faster performance

Sony's next-generation PlayStation 6 console should be twice as fast as the beefed-up PS5 Pro, and should have performance close to, or more, than the RTX 4090.

Tom from Moore's Law is Dead talked about the new PlayStation 6 performance estimates in his latest video, where he was asked a question from a viewer about the performance of the PS6, and where he thinks it'll end up. This lines up with everything we've heard so far, with AMD deploying its new UDNA GPU architecture that'll power the PS6, as well as a much higher-end Zen 5 CPU (PS5 + PS5 Pro use the Zen 2 architecture).

We should expect to have 4K 120FPS and even 8K 60FPS gaming on the PS6, with 8K 60FPS gaming being made possible through PSSR upscaling technology, and the much more powerful UDNA architecture from AMD. The new PlayStation 6 is rumored to be 20% faster in rasterization, and 2x faster in both RT (ray tracing) and AI according to rumors from leaker KeplerL2 just last month.

Grand Theft Auto 6 arrives in 2026 and will showcase the power inside of Sony's beefed-up PS5 Pro console, but if Sony can drop the next-gen PS6 in 2027, then they'll have the most powerful console ever made to run the biggest game of all time at (let's hope) 4K 120FPS.
