In a new post on the NeoGAF forums, leaker "KeplerL2" said that the final specs on the PS6 and Xbox Magnus consoles have been finalized, the leaker said: "Specs are very much finalized".

We've been reporting on the specs of the next-gen PS6 and Xbox Magnus consoles for a few months now, with Microsoft's purported next-gen Xbox (if it still sells Xbox consoles by then) being more powerful than the PlayStation 6. The next-gen Xbox has a more powerful RDNA 5-based GPU with more GPU cores, and a purported 48GB of GDDR7 memory, which is more than the up to 40GB of GDDR7 memory inside of the PS6.

Sony's next-gen PlayStation 6 will reportedly have less CPU cores, slower CPU clocks, less GPU cores, less ROPs, lower GPU clocks, less cache, and less system bandwidth. Microsoft's next-gen Xbox console will be superior in almost every way, so that it doesn't repeat the situation between the flagship Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 Pro, where the PS5 Pro whips the Xbox's ass.
