PS6 Rumor Teases 30GB RAM, But Price Tag Could Soar

A leak from Kepler L2 claims the PS6 could ship with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM on a 160-bit bus (640GB/s), a big jump from the PS5’s 16GB. But rising RAM costs amid a memory shortage could push the console’s MSRP higher, with some chatter suggesting up to a $100 increase for the 30GB configuration. The leak points to a 2026 arrival, with manufacturing in mid-2027 and a full launch in Fall 2027 or early 2028, though details should be treated as speculative.

AMD Files Patent for Enhanced DDR5 Memory with Double Bandwidth

AMD has developed a new patent that doubles memory bandwidth by using a high-bandwidth DIMM (HB-DIMM) approach, which integrates additional chips to multiplex and re-time data streams, rather than improving DRAM silicon itself. This technique is especially beneficial for AI and bandwidth-intensive workloads, though it may increase power consumption and cooling needs.

Apple's M3 Pro Chip: Improved Performance and Surprising Affordability

Apple's latest M3 Pro chip in the new MacBook Pro models boasts faster performance and improved power efficiency. However, it has 25% less memory bandwidth compared to the M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips used in previous generations. The M3 Pro chip features 150GB/s memory bandwidth, while the M3 Max offers up to 400GB/s. Additionally, the M3 Pro chip has a different core configuration compared to its predecessor, with 6 performance cores, 6 efficiency cores, and 18 GPU cores.

Comparing Apple's M3 Pro Chip to Previous Generations: Performance Cores, Memory Bandwidth, and More

Apple's latest M3 Pro chip in the new MacBook Pro models has 25% less memory bandwidth compared to the M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips used in previous generations. Despite this, the M3 Pro chip is touted as the fastest and most power-efficient Apple silicon yet, offering up to 40% faster performance than the M1 Pro. The M3 Pro chip also features changes in core ratios and a slightly weaker Neural Engine compared to its predecessors. The real-world impact of these changes on performance remains unclear, but Apple's new Dynamic Caching memory allocation technology aims to optimize memory usage.
