Leaker KeplerL2 claims PS6 comes with 30GB memory, 24GB for handheld
A new round rumors for next-generation PlayStation hardware is focusing on memory capacity. The information (like always) comes from leaker KeplerL2, who is keeping a close track of everything related to Sony hardware. The most recent claim puts a future of PlayStation systems with 30GB. That would be GDDR7 memory to be precise.
The 24 GB handheld figure appears in a NeoGAF discussion about next-gen console direction. The handheld is expected to feature LPDDR5X memory instead, which would match current Windows handheld configurations. Large memory capacity implies it should run current-gen games with no memory constaints.

Apparently Sony would opt to use 3GB GDDR7 memory modules in clamshell configuration. While the memory bus would be reduced from 256-bit to 160-bit , higher memory speed of 32 Gbps per chip would still yield higher bandwidth overall, now reaching 640 GB/s (11% higher than PS5 Pro). If accurate, the 30 GB figure implies an uncommon but workable physical layout, since a 160-bit interface lines up with ten 16-bit memory channels.
AMD and Sony have confirmed collaboration for Project Amethyst . Unofficially, the next-gen gaming hardware from Sony is said to utilize RDNA5 architecture, just like Xbox systems based on “Magnus” silicon.
