"It is the most important improvement that new generation consoles will have," he says without hesitation. For LeCun, “GPUs make the biggest difference in graphic quality of video games; and in the case of the GPU of the next consoles it will be significantly more powerful than that of the current generation consoles, ”he continues.
The change in high-budget productions will be especially noticeable, where both Sony Computer Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios have their long ten exclusive studios working with all the financial and creative guarantees. "For AAA games, the graphics will continue to improve."
Where LeCun is not so seduced is in RAM. Xbox Series X will have a GDDR6 (the number of GB is officially unknown at this time), but it will not have such an obvious impact, according to their estimates. "Memory is memory. More is always good, but it won't necessarily make a very noticeable difference. ”
