AMD’s recent Adrenalin 26.9.2 driver appears to contain a reference to the new driver Chip and APU models This may correspond to PS6 e steam deck 2although these are apparently just codename-related indications at the moment.
The update was released on September 29, and in its files, some data miners discovered “ATLite3”, according to some leakers, including the well-known KeplerL2 (generally considered a reliable source of AMD information), it will reference the Orion GPU, the SoC that is supposed to be the basis of the next-generation PlayStation, and therefore may be a direct reference to the PS6.
Hardware leakers have long known about the fact that AMD GPUs for next-gen platforms are related to AT code, and in particular, this code may actually be related to the new platform being developed for the next-generation PlayStation.
Sect and other threads of continuity
The presence of the mysterious ATLite3 in the code referenced in the new AMD driver has raised eyebrows, and KeplerL2 specifically believes that this may be a link to the hardware that supports the PS6, at least. system Developed by the company.
In fact, the PS5 GPU is also called Navi10Lite in similar archives, which has some correspondence with the next generation, and the chip names follow the same scheme.
PS6 will definitely not perform as well as Xbox Helix, according to new estimates: Chip finalized
AT2 code also appears in the update document, referring to the RDNA 5 platform, and the name “Gainsborough” that appears multiple times is very interesting.
This appears to be a platform using the FF6 BGA packaging format, which according to observers may be called steam deck 2the new version of Valve’s laptop hasn’t been released yet, but has been in development for some time.
Also in this case, there will be continuity with the naming of the previous chips, considering that the Steam Deck chip is named Aerith, while the OLED version is codenamed Sephiroth.
