Another rumor regarding the PlayStation 5 says that Sony's new console will use a custom version of the APU, AMD Ryzen 5 3600G.
There is more than a year before Sony's PlayStation 5 is launched and the turra that they are giving us is very serious. We do not know why, but in the absence of more than a year things do not stop leaking, could it be that it reaches the market sooner? Pelham Smithers, analyst and principal at Pelham Smithers Associates says that the PS5 will use an AMD Ryzen 5 3600G. According to the analyst, they will use a customized version of this APU. But the most amazing thing is that the new console hit the market with a price of 399 euros ($ 399)
PlayStation 5 will use an AMD Ryzen 5 3600G
According to this analyst, it will use the Ryzen 5 3600G, an APU that should be presented at Computex 2019, according to the leaks. In theory this processor will have 8 cores and 16 processing threads. Regarding the frequencies, the base will work at 3.2GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 4.0GHz. Nothing is known about the graphics, but rumors indicate that it would be based on a reduced version of the Navi 20. This new graphic architecture will be based on 7nm lithography.
It should be noted that many rumors are being said about Navi, increasingly crazy. First it was said that it would perform as an RTX 2080. Later it has been said that it would perform as an RTX 2080 Ti. And the most amazing of all is that it would be able to run RayTracing and support 8K resolutions. As you can see, dreaming is free.
The new Ryzen 5 3600G APU would have a market price of $ 199. According to this rumor, the price of each APU for Sony would be less than 100 dollars, because it would have requested 50 million of these APUs. Of course, when you buy APU at the beast, the price falls through the floors. This would leave about $ 250 of margin (taking profit into account), for the motherboard, GDDR6 memories, heatsink system, optical drive, NVMe M.2 SSD storage, and system power supply.
