Five years since the launch of PlayStation 5 and, naturally, it’s time to ruminate on what’s next. In a YouTube video from Moore’s Law is Dead, the leaker shares what they believe is extensive information on the PlayStation 6’s possible specs, starting price and release timing.
Caveat: Moore’s Law is Dead adds in the video a disclaimer that the info was sourced from a leaked AMD presentation to Sony back in 2023, adding that some of these specs may have changed by now.
The leaks suggest the company may prioritize lower power output and keeping costs in line with the previous generation. The video claims the next-gen console will have three times the rasterization, or 3D rendering, performance compared to the base PS5 and roughly double compared to the PS5 Pro.
A possible price of $499 might suggest Sony wants to channel the same success the PS4 had at launch, which was partly thanks to its lower price compared to both expectations and the competition.

It’s a big shift from Apple’s earlier stance on artificial intelligence when the company partnered with OpenAI in 2024 to infuse Siri with ChatGPT instead of developing its own AI chatbot. The team will develop in-house AI services for a “new ChatGPT-like search experience” that can crawl the web to respond to questions. These new capabilities could be a standalone app, as well as support AI capabilities for Apple’s Siri and Spotlight. The former could do with an injection of new ideas. Apple said the long-delayed new-and-improved Siri would eventually roll out “in the coming year.”
