Sony recently confirmed that their next-generation console will be named PS5 and will be launched during the 2020 Christmas holiday. According to Sony’s previous PlayStation console release months, many people think that the PS5 will be released in November 2020, but a new report points out that the PS5 may come later than most people think. The
news comes from the foreign media TweakTown, which quoted insiders saying that the PS5 has been locked for sale in December 2020. Reports say this is because TSMC needs more time to produce AMD’s 7-nanometer chips to meet the demand for a large number of PS5 consoles. After all, the next-generation consoles PS5 and Xbox Scarlett use AMD's chip technology, so it is not easy to produce so many chips at the same time. The report also pointed out that the GPU on the Sony PS5 is expected to use the new AMD Navi 20 design, which may be the RX 6700 series.
Sony PS3, PS4, PS4 Pro are all launched in November, while PS1 and PS2 were launched in September and October respectively. According to the previous release time, Sony always hopes to launch a new host as soon as possible to catch up with the Christmas shopping season, especially on Black Friday in November. If the above report is true, the PS5 will not be launched in December, and it will undoubtedly miss many promotional opportunities.
