LEAK: PlayStation 5 Pro specs revealed

Mar 19, 2024 12:49 PM

Exciting insider news for gaming enthusiasts – rumored specifications for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro have surfaced, suggesting significant upgrades over the standard PlayStation 5, particularly in processing and graphics capabilities. The leaks, verified by Insider Gaming and IGN, hint at the PlayStation 5 Pro being equipped with a high CPU frequency mode that enables 10% faster processing speeds. A significant leap in GPU power is also on the cards, with the Pro version boasting an impressive 33.5 teraflops of performance, compared to the original's 10.28 teraflops, thanks to a newly adopted AMD architecture.

Additionally, the PlayStation 5 Pro could implement cutting-edge PSSR technology – leveraging AI for enhanced resolution upscaling. Storage and speed receive a boost as well, with leaked documents pointing toward 576 GB/s, a noticeable increase from the previous 448GB/s. Just like its slimmer sibling, the PlayStation 5 Pro will reportedly maintain the detachable disc drive feature and provide 1TB of storage. These advancements follow on from recent PlayStation 5 system updates that have introduced improvements to the DualSense controller's microphone and audio features, as well as the latest PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for March.

What significant upgrades will the PlayStation 5 Pro have compared to the standard PlayStation 5?

The PlayStation 5 Pro is rumored to have a similar CPU to the standard model but with a “High CPU Frequency Mode” that's 10% faster, a GPU that is more than triple the current teraflops at 33.5, utilizing a new AMD architecture, and advanced PSSR technology for AI-driven resolution upscaling. It will also have faster storage speeds and retain a 1TB capacity with a detachable disc drive.

The PlayStation 5, released by Sony in 2020, has quickly become one of the most sought-after gaming consoles on the market. The anticipation for a more powerful 'Pro' version of the console builds on the foundation of success laid by its predecessor. If true, these leaks suggest that the PlayStation 5 Pro will push the boundaries of console gaming performance further, solidifying Sony's position at the forefront of the home entertainment and gaming industry.
