PS6 Development Milestone Teased by AMD
In a tweet celebrating FSR 4 on X, AMD said that it's 'proud to collaborate with PlayStation on Project Amethyst.' Last December, Sony confirmed that Project Amethyst was a joint effort between the two companies to create technology based on machine learning for graphics and gameplay.
'FSR 4 is looking fantastic!' AMD continued. 'Excited for the co-development with Sony Interactive Entertainment on the models used for the FSR 4 upscaler. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for what's next!'
While Sony didn't explicity mention PS6's development when it announced its partnership with AMD, it's an open secret at this point. Rumors of the companies working together on next-gen platforms had been circulating for almost a year before Sony announced Project Amethyst.
Sony and AMD have enjoyed a strong partnership since the PS4. Last July, an AMD veteran revealed that the company was on the verge of financial disaster when Sony came along and saved it from bankruptcy by tasking it with PS4's production.
Speculation suggests that PS6 will release sometime in late 2027.

Nvidia and AMD agree to share China chip sale revenues with US government
Nvidia and AMD agreed to share 15% of their revenues from chip sales to China with the US government, a government official has confirmed. President Donald Trump's administration halted the sale of advanced computer chips to China back in April over national security concerns, but Nvidia and AMD revealed in July that Washington would allow them to resume sales of the H20 and MI308 chips, which are used in artificial intelligence development. The official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss a policy not yet formally announced, confirmed to the Associated Press the revenue sharing terms of the deal, and said the broad strokes of the initial report by The Financial Times were accurate. The FT reported that Nvidia and AMD agreed to the financial arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licence to resume sales to China. Nvidia did not comment about the specific details of the agreement or its quid pro quo nature, but said they would adhere to the export rules laid out by the administration. 'We follow rules the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide,' Nvidia wrote in a statement to the AP. 'America cannot repeat 5G and lose telecommunication leadership. America's AI tech stack can be the world's standard if we race.' AMD did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The top Democrat on a House panel focusing on competition with China raised concerns over the reported agreement, calling it 'a dangerous misuse of export controls that undermines our national security'. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, the ranking member of the House Select Committee on China, said he would seek answers about the legal basis for this arrangement and demand full transparency from the administration. 'Our export control regime must be based on genuine security considerations, not creative taxation schemes disguised as national security policy,' he said. 'Chip export controls aren't bargaining chips, and they're not casino chips either. We shouldn't be gambling with our national security to raise revenue.' Back in July, Nvidia argued that tight export controls around their chip sales would cost the company an extra 5.5 billion US dollars (£4 billion). They have argued that such limits hinder US competition in a sector in one of the world's largest markets for technology, and have also warned that US export controls could end up pushing other countries toward China's AI technology. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC in July that the renewed sale of Nvidia's chips in China was linked to a trade agreement made between the two countries on rare earth magnets. Restrictions on sales of advanced chips to China have been central to the AI race between the world's two largest economic powers, but such controls are also controversial. Proponents argue that these restrictions are necessary to slow China down enough to allow US companies to keep their lead. Meanwhile, opponents say the export controls have loopholes – and could still spur innovation. The emergence of China's DeepSeek AI chatbot in January particularly renewed concerns over how China might use advanced chips to help develop its own AI capabilities.

Trump Trade: Nvidia, AMD said to pay U.S. cut from China chip sales
Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly: Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. CHIP SALES REVENUE: Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have agreed to pay 15% of their revenue from chip sales to China to the U.S. government, Hadriana Lowenkron and Michael Sasso of Bloomberg report, citing a person familiar with the matter. This will be part of a deal with the Trump admin to secure their licenses to export. The revenues will be related to Nvidia's sales of H20 chips and AMD's sales of MI308 in China, the person added. APPARENT IPO: Shares of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) moved higher after President Trump over the weekend posted a picture on social media of an alleged initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange of a company called 'The Great American Mortgage Corporation.' The post followed reporting last week that the Trump administration is weighing an IPO of the government sponsored entries. Keefe Bruyette keeps Underperform ratings on both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the Trump administration is planning to do an initial public offering of both later this year. The firm finds 'very unlikely' that an IPO can be done by the end of 2025. There are numerous factors to address before an IPO, including the current minimum capital, which is roughly 4.25% of assets for both companies and results in estimated run-rate returns on equity of 7%-9%, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Keefe believes investors won't be willing to buy shares of companies with such low ROEs. In order for Fannie and Freddie to generate low-teens ROEs, the capital rules have to be changed to remove the buffers and take capital levels back closer to the statutory minimum of 2.5%, contends the firm. MEETING WITH TRUMP: A week after President Trump called for his ouster, Intel (INTC) CEO Lip-Bu Tan is set to visit the White House on Monday, Lauren Thomas of Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Tan and Trump are expected to have a wide-ranging conversation and explain his personal and professional background, sources told the Journal. The CEO may also propose ways that the government and Intel could work together, the people added. Tan seeks rump's approval by showing his commitment to the country, they said. MARIJUANA CLASSIFICATION: President Donald Trump is debating on reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Earlier this month, Trump said he was interested in change, the sources added. Such a shift would make it easier to buy and sell pot. Publicly traded companies in the space include Aurora Cannabis (ACB), CV Sciences (CVSI), Canopy Growth (CGC), Cronos Group (CRON), Goodness Growth (GDNSF), Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF), IGC Pharma (IGC), Tilray (TLRY), Trees Corporation (CANN) and Trulieve Cannabis (TCNNF). IRS COMMISSIONER: President Trump is removing Billy Long, a former Republican congressman, from his job leading the Internal Revenue Service two months after he was confirmed as commissioner, four people familiar with the matter told The New York Times' Andrew Duehren, Alan Rappeport and Maggie Haberman. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting IRS commissioner until a permanent replacement is in place, while Long is expected to be nominated to an ambassadorship, the report added, citing sources. GOLD BARS: A White House official said the Trump administration plans to issue a new policy clarifying that imports of gold bars should not face tariffs after the government surprised traders by ruling that they would, Jennifer Dlouhy of Bloomberg reports. The White House intends to post an executive order shortly to clarify what an official called misinformation about the tariffing of gold and other specialty products, according to Bloomberg.
