AMD SoC of PlayStation 5 gets photographed in detail

Fritzchens Fritz is not unknown to us, he presented many high-resolution packages and die photos of processors already in an effort to see the greatest detail.

The PS5 SoC was photographed in infrared by amateur Fritzchens Fritz earlier this year. Sony's latest console, like the Xbox X/S, has a AMD-designed chip called Oberon. The Oberon SoC has 8 Zen 2 cores (with SMT) and 36 RDNA 2 compute units (clocked at 2.23 GHz). With 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, this should give 10.29 Tflops of computing power.

Fritz's photographs demonstrate AMD's distribution of the billions of transistors. The GPU is made up of computational units clustered together. The Zen 2 cores are at the bottom left (see photo above), and the gddr6 memory is along the chip's length.

The photographer shared photographs of the Ryzen 5 5600G apu earlier this month, and the GA102-300 gpu (RTX 3090) late last year. Please do visit the artist's Flickr page for more images.
