AMD and Sony jointly teased AMD's approach to improving its future graphics hardware performance in a video posted to YouTube this week: compression, aggregation and dedication. Compressing all the data in the graphics pipeline for lower memory overhead, aggregating the compute units that process the data for faster matrix multiplication (key to improving AI performance, including upscaling) and finally adding dedicated silicon to handle ray and path tracing acceleration, necessary to bump up visual quality.

Sony's involvement immediately sent everyone's heads into PlayStation 6 rumorspace: AMD's chips power Sony's PlayStation consoles, and that's pretty much the only place where the two companies intersect, at least for the moment.
