Sony teases new GPU tech coming to its next PlayStation

Sony teases new GPU tech coming to its next PlayStation

Tech-news , , ,

Sony’s next console (presumably the PS6) is coming in “a few years time,” according to someone who I’d believe to make that claim. Mark Cerny, lead architect on the PS5 and PS5 Pro, joined Jack Huynh, SVP and GM of AMD’s computing and graphics group, in a YouTube video wherein the pair spend nine minutes going through some very specific, co-developed advancements in graphics technology that will come to the next console. But the pair cautioned that the technologies are still in “very early days” and “only exist in simulation right now.”

Much of it boils down to how the companies are working to make it easier for future GPUs to handle graphics upscaling, ray tracing, and the super-intensive path tracing techniques used to make game worlds look more realistic. Cerny says “the current approach has reached its limit,” so Sony is working with AMD to integrate components of its next-gen RDNA architecture in future consoles. AMD’s Huynh introduced Radiance Cores (similar in theory to Nvidia’s RT Cores) that are dedicated to handling ray tracing and path tracing. In addition to Sony’s new consoles having the new cores, they will almost certainly be built into AMD’s future desktop GPUs, too, and likely within whatever it’s assisting with in its Xbox partnership.

The Radiance Cores supposedly deliver a speed boost to performance, freeing up other components to quickly process shaders and textures instead of having to spin so many plates, so to speak. This new GPU tech will also benefit from advancements in AMD’s FSR Redstone, its latest AI-assisted upscaling technology, such as Neural Radiance Caching, as well as likely whatever upscaling tech comes after.

Another key area of improvement is compression, which will free up more bandwidth for GPUs to run future games at peak performance and fidelity. Sony’s improving on the Delta Color Compression technique (used on the PS5 and PS5 Pro) that compress textures and render targets. Its next hardware will utilize the new, more efficient technique called Universal Compression that compresses everything in the pipeline. Huynh says this will let the GPU deliver “more detail, higher frame rates, and greater efficiency.” More compression could raise the performance ceiling of a GPU, so it should also let it run more efficiently in a low-power mode, should the need arise.

Speaking of, it’s easy to see how these improvements could benefit the rumored PlayStation handheld that’s allegedly in development. Sony and AMD’s work to reduce the stress on GPUs could theoretically be applied to any form factor, such as a handheld. Sony has already made strides in efficiency on the PS5, with a new Power Saver mode that can scale back game performance in favor of lower power consumption. In a nutshell, those are the key ingredients necessary to run games on a handheld.

It’s encouraging to see Sony being proactive about showing how it’s working to make the GPUs in its upcoming devices (be it the PS6 or a handheld) as capable as possible. For now, we’ll pretend that this news doesn’t cast a shadow over the aging PS5 and the not-as-powerful-as-we’d-hoped PS5 Pro.

real-life ray gun into a 747 to shoot down ballistic missiles and stuck a laser on top of a Humvee to zap roadside bombs. For more than 50 years, the United States military and its researchers have tried to develop laser weapons. None of them panned out.

But now, the US Army is about to make a working laser weapon an official part of its arsenal. The Pentagon is poised to sign a contract to acquire and rapidly deploy what’s called an Enduring High Energy Laser in and around bases across the world to defend them from drone attacks, according to sources familiar with the matter. The official announcement could come as early as this week. When the deal is signed, it will mark the first time that the US military will have committed to equipping its forces with laser weapons in significant numbers.

“For years, lasers were going to be the future, and they never really came to their own. Now, they’re actually coming to their own,” Mark J. Lewis, the former Air Force chief scientist, tells WIRED.

The Iran and Ukraine wars have shown that drones are now so cheap, so plentiful, and so deadly that they’re impossible to stop with any single countermeasure. Some of the traditional ones have been particularly clunky. During the early days of the Iran conflict, the US even resorted to firing $4 million Patriot missiles at $35,000 Iranian drones—a waste of money, and a move that depleted the American interceptor stockpile.

Modern lasers, on the other hand, never run out of ammunition. “Basically, you can keep firing them as long as you’ve got power,” Lewis says. “There are some other issues with lasers, including how rapidly you can refire and recharge. But if you solve those problems, then suddenly you’ve got a pretty nifty way to help counteract things like a drone swarm attack.”

That’s one reason why the US military, at this moment, has either deployed or is actively testing a half-dozen laser weapons systems, according to the Laser Wars newsletter. The Navy has installed laser “dazzlers” on two of its ships to blind drones’ electro-optical sensors. The Air Force’s command for Europe and Africa has sent Boeing’s Compact Laser Weapons System “to locations across the theater.” In late June, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth traveled to the Army’s test range in White Sands, New Mexico, for a demonstration of all sorts of directed-energy weapon projects.

The deployments haven’t all gone great. Four vehicles equipped with Raytheon air-defense lasers were yanked from the Middle East after poor reviews from soldiers. One laser, built by the defense contractor AeroVironment and positioned along the southern US border, accidentally zapped a party balloon in February, causing the Federal Aviation Administration to briefly close the airspace around El Paso, Texas. Once it was reopened, the laser shot down a Border Patrol drone by mistake.

Despite such mishaps, the Army appears ready to go beyond the one-offs and the experiments. In fact, in some ways, the accidental kill helped make the case for the laser, proving it could actually take out such a drone.

The Pentagon and its suppliers had been scrambling to field something, anything to defend against mass-produced, low-cost attack drones. They’ve rolled out radio frequency jammers, microwave weapons, an array of missiles, drones designed to kill other drones, even copies of the Iranian robots. None of them in isolation have been enough. On March 1, an Iranian drone killed six US service members and injured 30 others.

Samsung’s press release didn’t mention which titles will have support initially, or how many there are, other than including a press image showing off Amazon’s series Ride or Die. The news also comes just after Disney Plus in Europe briefly lost Dolby Vision support due to a patent dispute.

It has similar features to Dolby Vision 2, but without Samsung paying Dolby’s fee for the stamp, and also promises to add “Intelligent Motion Smoothing” that can adjust scene by scene. Hisense, Philips, and TCL have said their new TVs will support Dolby Vision 2, while Peacock and Canal+ are on board for content, but it’s not available for use yet and will likely require a software update for supported TVs when it does start to roll out.

Both formats are promising to make use of motion smoothing when it can benefit the viewing experience on fast-moving action like sports, while also backing off from adding the unsettling “soap opera” effect to film and TV content, but we’ll have to see it in action to know how well it works. The HDR10Plus Advanced FAQ explains more about how its metadata tags can cover both genres (Movie, Sports, Animation, News, or General) and specific details like lighting, motion, or perspective to inform how your TV processes what’s going on.

The first TVs announced with support are Samsung’s 2026 lineup, which will be able to make use of the extra metadata to deliver more precise HDR that is optimized for what you’re watching, and tone mapping that can adjust for specific areas of the screen instead of applying one setting to the whole frame.Samsung’s press release didn’t mention which titles will have support initially, or how many there are, other than including a press image showing off Amazon’s series Ride or Die. The news also comes just after Disney Plus in Europe briefly lost Dolby Vision support due to a patent dispute.It has similar features to Dolby Vision 2, but without Samsung paying Dolby’s fee for the stamp, and also promises to add “Intelligent Motion Smoothing” that can adjust scene by scene. Hisense, Philips, and TCL have said their new TVs will support Dolby Vision 2, while Peacock and Canal+ are on board for content, but it’s not available for use yet and will likely require a software update for supported TVs when it does start to roll out.Both formats are promising to make use of motion smoothing when it can benefit the viewing experience on fast-moving action like sports, while also backing off from adding the unsettling “soap opera” effect to film and TV content, but we’ll have to see it in action to know how well it works. The HDR10Plus Advanced FAQ explains more about how its metadata tags can cover both genres (Movie, Sports, Animation, News, or General) and specific details like lighting, motion, or perspective to inform how your TV processes what’s going on.#Samsungs #HDR10 #Advanced #launching #month #Prime #VideoGadgets,News,Samsung,Streaming,Tech,TVs
