AMD won the dispute against Intel to provide the PS6 processor, the next generation of Sony video game consoles. This is what revealed a news agency report Reuterspublished this week.

If you are the type that reads technical specifications, you should know that the PS5 and PS5 Pro processors recently released are from AMD. But that did not mean that the company would provide the chips for the next generation. There was a dispute in 2022. And the loss can cost billions of dollars for Intel.

Executives and engineers at Sony and Intel discussed “months” about maintaining retroactive compatibility if they changed the processor mark.

OX of the question was: There was no agreement on how much Intel would profit from each processor designed by it. This is because the company that would manufacture the chips would be Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC).

If Intel provided processors for PS6 models, it could have $ 30 billion (approximately R $ 165 billion) in revenues, according to the Reuters.

  • The company disagrees and said the following to the agency: “We strongly disagree with this characterization, but we will not comment on any conversations with current or potential customers.”
