Sony and Microsoft are locked in a fierce battle to deliver the most powerful gaming console. Which brand will come out on top remains uncertain, but one thing\u2019s clear: Sony is pulling out all the stops for the PlayStation 6. In other news, the beloved Mafia series is making a return! Check out the trailer for Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> and lose yourself in this gripping world of crime and intrigue. Speculation surrounding the PS6 is rampant. While Sony hasn\u2019t officially confirmed the exact specs, rumors suggest they\u2019re \u201cleaning heavily towards AMD\u201d for their hardware needs.<\/p>\n For those deep in discussion on Reddit, this choice isn\u2019t a shocker. One user, No-Chemistry-4561, pointed out, \u201cAs far as I know, NVIDIA doesn’t offer a CPU. What AMD offers is an APU, which combines a CPU and GPU on a single die. That\u2019s why AMD has the edge in the more powerful console market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Others jumped to NVIDIA\u2019s defense, with one user noting, \u201cPS3 was good. That was NVIDIA based. But yeah, I don’t think NVIDIA wants to reclaim that ground, and AMD has really been doing well here with custom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Despite this, many fans are stunned that we\u2019re already looking ahead to the PS6\u2019s rumored specs, especially since the PS5\u2019s potential hasn\u2019t been fully tapped yet. But here we are, staring at the dawn of the next generation. The PS5\u2019s eventual phase-out isn\u2019t exactly news\u2014the PS6 release window was subtly hinted at, but most of us didn\u2019t catch it.<\/p>\n Given the power the next PlayStation is expected to wield, it\u2019s likely to come with a hefty price tag, too. Luckily, there\u2019s still time to save, particularly with the PS5 Pro set to debut first. But it never hurts to start setting aside some extra cash now. When the PS6 finally drops, you\u2019re going to need every penny to snag one.<\/p>\n
