A new tech talk from AMD and Sony has given us a look into the plans for a future PlayStation console – the presumed but unannounced PS6 – as well as AMD's ambitions for next-gen GPUs and machine learning.

PS5 and PS5 Pro architect Mark Cerny discusses Project Amethyst, a collaboration between Sony and AMD on "Machine Learning-based technology for graphics and gameplay," with AMD SVP and GM Jack Huynh.
