Sony/AMD Project Amethyst Update - Next-Gen Tech Revealed - DF Direct Special + Mark Cerny Q&A
🕑 Added 2025-10-11 14:53:00 +0000 UTCHi everyone, this was originally going to be the main news topic for the latest edition of DF Direct Weekly. On reflection, as it contains new information from Mark Cerny, the Direct would have almost certainly leaked, so we spun out this segment as a standalone video running now. We'll be getting Direct #235 to you as quickly as possible.
The blurb: could this be the foundational GPU technology for the PlayStation 6? Mark Cerny's latest Project Amethyst update describes the building blocks of future graphics technology, with a strong focus on ray tracing and machine learning capabilities, along with bandwidth-enhancing features designed to reduce the need on massive memory controllers. John, Rich and Oliver discuss the tech and share more information from Mark Cerny via an email Q&A conducted in the wake of the video's publication.

what can I say exclamation point
Sony are going for it, whereas Xbox have given up. It's a shame but exciting for PlayStation!

Knack 3 should be stunning indeed.
