Leaker Claims PS6 and Xbox Helix Chips Taped Out, With Helix Leading in Raw Compute
AMD leaker Kepler_L2 reports that the custom chips for the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Project Helix have completed the tape-out stage, signaling the end of the design phase. The leak claims the PS6 chip offers 40 TFLOPS of compute, while the Xbox Helix chip reaches 56 TFLOPS, a 40% raw performance advantage. Production for the PS6 is expected to begin in spring 2027, with a public reveal in summer 2027 and a global launch in November 2027. However, official confirmation from Sony and Microsoft is pending, and pricing remains a major concern due to rising memory costs.
