Jack Huynh, SVP and GM of Computer & Graphics for AMD, has taken to X to hype up the Project Amethyst collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment, which we already know is set to define the technology powering the PS6.
Among the goals for Project Amethyst are “Designing an architecture optimised specifically for machine caring workloads in gaming” and “Developing high-quality neural networks that push the boundaries of real-time graphics.”
This isn’t just theory — it’s a co-engineered reality.From hardware breakthroughs to software advances, we’ve delivered smarter, more efficient solutions like Super Resolution in FSR 4, and we’re now paving the way for machine learning based Frame Generation and Ray Regeneration in FSR Redstone.

While Sony hasn’t announced the PS6 yet, there’s been plenty of rumours about the new console from the hardware giant. Digital Foundry for example has stated that it expects the PS6 to feature at least 24GB RAM to accommodate machine learning tech, while former Sony indie boss Shuhei Yoshida has said that it ‘feels right‘ if the console were to launch in 2028.
Elsewhere, the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment acknowledged that fans are eager to learn more details about the PS6, and therefore ‘the future of the platform is top of mind.’ There’s also persistent rumours that Sony is set to launch a new handheld that will arrive alongside the PS6.
