The PlayStation 6 is getting a little closer again. Back in December, PlayStation architect Mark Cerny announced that Sony was working on the PlayStation 6 as part of "Project Amethyst". cooperates with AMD. The partnership is set to produce a number of innovations in the field of machine learning and graphics technology. AMD has now made this collaboration the focus of its latest presentation - with some exciting details.
AMD celebrates itself and shares news
Today is "Radeon Day" - a kind of holiday for PC enthusiasts on which AMD traditionally presents new products. This year the new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards in the spotlight. However, AMD used the opportunity not only to celebrate itself, but also to drop a small bombshell for console gamers: The development of FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) is progressing - and Sony is apparently closely involved.
FSR has established itself as a serious competitor to Nvidia's DLSS in recent years. The technology allows games to be rendered in a lower resolution and simulate native 4K quality using AI upscaling. This not only significantly increases performance, but also enables more elaborate visual effects.
With FSR 4 AMD take the next step. Thanks to new algorithms and greater integration of machine learning, the upscaling quality should come even closer to native 4K graphics - and without Nvidia's proprietary AI accelerator. One of the most exciting revelations: Sony is working directly on the models used for the FSR 4 upscaler. This is a strong indication that the PlayStation 6 will rely on this technology.
AMD confirms close cooperation with Sony
In an official statement, AMD announce: "FSR 4 looks fantastic! I'm delighted to be working with Sony Interactive Entertainment on the models used for the FSR 4 upscaler. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned to find out what's coming next!"
This should be clear: AMD and Sony are not only working on the next generation of consoles, but also want to push the boundaries of what is possible with upscaling technologies. The next PlayStation will rely on cutting-edge AI-powered graphics technologies - and AMD has already secured its place in this future.
