Insider leaks details about PS5 Pro upgrade

May 07, 2024 2:38 PM

The gaming community is abuzz with speculation as fresh rumors about the PlayStation 5 Pro have surfaced, hinting at substantial hardware upgrades for Sony's next iteration of their gaming console. According to sources from Digital Foundry, the PS5 Pro might come with over 30 Work Group Processors (WGP), a massive leap from the 18 WGP of the current model, and could boast up to 36.1 Teraflops of processing power—essentially tripling its speed. This might translate into seamless 4K resolution gaming at 60 frames per second.

Further rumored enhancements include an increased GPU clock speed, moving from 2.23 GHz to 2.35 GHz, and expansions in the GL1 cache size from 128 KB to 256 KB, as well as the GL0V cache from 16 KB to 32 KB. These speculated details suggest considerable performance improvements over the existing PS5, though Sony has not yet made any official announcements regarding the PS5 Pro. Gamers are eagerly awaiting confirmation and clarity on when they can expect this potent new console to hit the market.

The PS5 Pro is rumored to offer significant hardware upgrades, such as over 30 Work Group Processors, up to 36.1 Teraflops of graphics processing power, a GPU clock speed increase to 2.35 GHz, and larger cache sizes for both GL1 and GL0V, all contributing to potentially much-improved gaming performance.

The PlayStation 5, Sony's flagship gaming console, released in November 2020, quickly became known for its advanced features and cutting-edge controller, the DualSense Wireless Controller. The PS5 has been successful due to its high-quality graphics, user-friendly interface, and an extensive library of exclusive games. This rumored Pro version aims to build upon the solid foundation Sony has established with the PS5, enhancing the gaming experience with superior hardware and performance capabilities.
