GoKawiilLeaker claims PS6, next Xbox GPUs taped out at 40 and 56 TFLOPs
Leaker Kepler_L2 says Sony and Microsoft have already taped out the graphics chips for the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox (codenamed Helix), citing theoretical figures of 40 TFLOPs and 56 TFLOPs respectively. Both chips are expected to use AMD's RDNA 5 architecture, though the leaker raised the claims specifically to warn against comparing consoles by TFLOPs alone.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
On paper the numbers suggest Helix could have roughly a 40% raw-performance edge over the PS6, but TFLOPs alone don't capture differences in CPU cores, clock speeds, memory, ray tracing, AI upscaling or power limits, so the real-world gap could be smaller or shaped differently. Ultimately, how meaningful any advantage becomes will depend on how third-party developers choose to optimize for each platform.
- Kepler_L2 claims PS6 and next Xbox GPUs are already taped out, at 40 and 56 TFLOPs respectively
- Both consoles are rumored to use AMD's RDNA 5 GPU architecture
- TFLOP comparisons omit key factors like CPU, memory, ray tracing and thermal design that affect actual performance
