In this interview, Penty stated that "Having cores dedicated to Ray Tracing is huge, " confirming that the next console called Project Scarlett has dedicated Ray Tracing hardware. Given that AMD has confirmed that it is working on hardware accelerated technology, these cores are likely to be part of the next generations of AMD Radeon.
Although Penty was unable to explain Scarlett's specifications, her statement reconfirmed that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox would include dedicated Ray Tracing hardware. This indicates the importance that this technology will have in the next generation games, for consoles and also for PC.
