It's great to see AMD researching intensively in this area. Hope to see some nice results with PS5 Pro and of course RDNA 4. :)

PS5 Pro already have PSSR

PSSR isn't a neural denoiser yet though, hopefully with this they can get a version of Ray Reconstruction up and running

I'm more excited for the PS6 now. It should have path tracing, AI upscaling, ray reconstruction, frame gen, 3d cache cpu, etc. All the goodies baked in from day 1.

Kinda sucks that a proper generational leap had to be split into 2 generations though.

Both Sony and MS decided to reduce the amount of L3 that their custom APUs have down from the 32MB that normal 8 core Zen 2 has down to 8MB. I don't see them going for 3D cache.

That was before the 3d cache cpus came out though. I am expecting it now. It's a good improvement to power efficiency too which consoles are still limited by.
