A new PlayStation 5 spec leak has suggested Sony’s next-gen console might not match Xbox Series X in terms of raw hardware power.

According to AMD test data obtained and verified by Digital Foundry, PS5’s GPU – codename ‘Oberon’ – will be able to operate at 9.2 teraflops and use GDDR6 memory – the same as the RX 5700-series Navi cards in the PC space.

Author Richard Leadbetter wrote: “The PlayStation 5 spec outlined in the leak points toward a device with more of a balance between price and performance.

“Assuming we’re looking at a not implausible 16GB of GDDR6 and a 1TB SSD, this is still an expensive-looking device – but stacked up against the monstrous Series X, it obviously stands more of a chance of hitting the magic $399 launch price-point that served PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro so well.

“On the face of it, Microsoft has the more powerful machine, but some might say that in the console space, the price-point is of paramount importance.”
