Sony Interactive Entertainment lead architect Mark Cerny recently revealed the first details on the next generation PlayStation console. The console will be using an  AMD Ryzen CPU and contains eight cores of the company’s new 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture , as well as a Radeon Navi GPU.

AMD CEO Lisa Su speaking with CNBC stated that AMD is excited to be working with Sony on the next generation PlayStation.

"What we have done with Sony is really architect something for their application, for their special sauce," said Su. "It’s a great honor for us. We’re really excited about what the next generation PlayStation will do."

The next generation PlayStation won't release in 2019.

Dear god. They went out and said "Special sauce". - Let the speculation games begin.

I am excited what an 8-core Ryzen CPU will mean for gaming in general as a development baseline. - Better physics? More A.I? Giant Enemy Crabs? Future is Ryzen.

damn, I hope this new gen heavily involves more advanced AI. So tired of AI that's either rubber banding, or based on simple execution nodes.

I fully expect A.I to take one of the largest leaps since the OG Xbox with Halo. I expect some big and exciting things with the Playstation 5 when it comes to CPU derived tasks... Not even the Cell got me this moist.

I'm expecting a greater emphasis on the GPU rather than the CPU.

Sony do this every time... Remember the rubber ducks in the bath demo? How about the rumour Saddam Hussein could launch a missile with a PS2? Anyone?

I'd be more excited to see devs use more than 2 cores and 4 threads tbh.

base Playstation 4 games still look great to me. I think this is the last major jump in graphics we will see.

I thought that with the last couple generations. I was wrong. I realized that the people that know how to make use of these jumps in power always figure out new cool shit to do. I see no reason to think that they're out of room for progress at this point.
