Overview

• A new Moore’s Law Is Dead leak outlines a custom AMD “Orion” APU with roughly 34–40 TFLOPs, 52–54 RDNA 5 compute units at 2.6–3.0 GHz, and an 8‑core Zen 6C CPU plus two low‑power cores.
• The report asserts a 6–12x ray‑tracing uplift over PS5, with the upper bound likened to NVIDIA’s RTX 5090, a comparison outlets treat cautiously due to cost and feasibility.
• The silicon is described as a monolithic ~280 mm² die on TSMC’s 3nm node with an estimated ~160 W TDP.
• Memory is said to use a 160‑bit GDDR7 interface delivering 640 GB/s and 30–40 GB of RAM, with backward compatibility expected for PS4 and PS5 titles.
• Production is rumored for mid‑2027 with a Fall 2027 release window, alongside chatter about a detachable disc drive, a possible portable, and an Xbox “Magnus” APU that may trade higher performance for greater cost.
