Both Sony and Microsoft promise the next generation to be revolutionary, so the question stands: how much of an improvement will we change?

During its E3 conference, Microsoft officially revealed that the next-gen Xbox, which only has a codename at the moment (Project Scarlett), will be four times stronger than the currently strongest console on the market, the Xbox One X. Meanwhile, Sony has not said anything similar when they revealed the first details about the next-gen PlayStation (which, for the lack of an official name, will be called the PlayStation 5).

Now, on Twitter, APISAK, a respected and experienced name in the subject, first revealed what the PCI ID will be of the AMD Gonzalo, and it turned out that the 132F8 at its end has never been used in any AMD device, which is why it’s possible that they might have found the ID of the PlayStation 5 dev kit’s APU (which contains both a CPU and a GPU in one chip).

The Gonzalo will be in the PlayStation 5, and – according to T3 – it will combine AMD’s third-gen, 7nm Ryzen Zen 2 architecture with AMD’s new Navi graphical chip, which is set to launch later this year. And what Sony said (eight-core Zen 2 CPU, custom Navi GPU) seems to be in line what Gonzalo contains. But back to APISAK, the PlayStation 4 reached 5000 points in 3DMark Fire Strike, while the Gonzalo hit 20000, meaning it’s a 4x improvement, a similar amount what Microsoft said at E3.

The next-gen PlayStation is set to launch probably in the 2020 Holiday season, close to the Project Scarlett, to repeat the PlayStation 4 – Xbox One launch from 2013. However, we wonder: HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

The score is hidden.
I only see the overall score.
PS4 – Rough score 5000
Gonzalo – score 20000 up
