Just last year we had somewhat reliable information that Navi was being made for Sony. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/06/12/sources-amd-created-navi-for-sonys-playstation-5-vega-suffered/#3003276024fd If that was still the case I would think it's unlikely that MS would be able to just ask AMD for the GPU they're making for the PS5, but faster. I've noticed a lot of recent speculation has settled around MS having a faster version of Navi, and I was curious why. |
I mean Navi will still be AMD tech, with Sony not holding any rights to it, so it will be used in other devices. However, I do agree with you. Considering it was rumored that Sony is working with AMD closely on the Navi GPU, I would imagine they would have some kind of agreement that they get dibs on it in the home console market. At least in the beginning of the gen.
