Sony, which has sold more than 30 million PlayStation 5 consoles worldwide, accounts for 16 percent of AMD’s revenues. According to a Tom’s Hardware report, Sony spent $3.776 billion on semiconductor technology last year alone for its custom RDNA 2 microarchitecture.
The PS5 console uses the AMD Oberon GPU built on 7nm silicon. The console has a GPU clock of 2233 MHz with 16GB of memory. With the PS5 on sale around the world, it’s clear that Sony is showing no signs of slowing down in sales. Sony has ramped up production of the PS5 over the past year, so it makes sense for them to put more money into securing GPUs.
AMD’s dominance on the console side continues on the other side of the gaming industry, as the graphics card manufacturer is also responsible for powering the Xbox Series X. VGChartz claims that Microsoft’s latest console has sold 20 million units.
All in all, this paints an encouraging picture of PS5 and Xbox Series X longevity. Despite the initial problems, these consoles continue to sell incredibly well, and those who want to buy can acquire the devices much more easily than when the consoles were first released.
