- Sony and AMD are teasing new chips for a future console, referred to as 'Project Amethyst'.
- Project Amethyst is a co-engineering effort focused on enhancing machine-learning-based neural networks for better graphics upscaling.
- The project aims to move beyond traditional rasterization techniques, which don't scale well with brute force alone.
- New 'neural arrays' allow compute units to share data, functioning like a single AI engine for more efficient processing.
- This technology will enable more scalable shader engines, allowing larger portions of the screen to be processed at once.
- The goal is to have more on-screen elements enhanced or touched by machine learning (ML).
