On top of PlayStation 4 emulation issues, there are additional obstacles for PlayStation 5 emulation such as [https://www.radgametools.com/oodlekraken.htm Kraken], different custom APIs compared to prior generation and different GPU drivers to reverse-engineer all over again. As of this time, the PS5's APU can now be found as the AMD [https://elektricm.github.io/amd-bc250-docs/ BC-250], which gives direct confirmation that the Playstation 5 uses a hybrid GPU, "Cyan Skillfish"/gfx1013 with no support for certain machine learning operations and with some desktop RDNA 2 features cut out such as Variable Rate Shading. Otherwise, it supports most RDNA 2 features and enhancements over RDNA 1. This does not mean the AMD BC-250 itself can help PS5 emulator development in any way.
