Sony Unveils Upgraded PlayStation 5 Console: PS5 Pro Boasts More Powerful GPU and Efficient Memory Configuration

Sony is currently working on a new version of the PlayStation 5 console known as the PS5 Pro. This new console will feature a more powerful GPU and a high-frequency CPU mode. Internally known as Trinity, this hardware will offer developers the choice between a standard mode running at 3.5 GHz and a high CPU frequency mode running at 3.85 GHz.

In the high-frequency mode, more power is allocated to the CPU while the GPU receives less power, resulting in a 1% decrease in performance. The memory configuration of the PS5 Pro is more efficient, providing a bandwidth gain of up to 28%. Developers will have greater control over system memory, with the ability to use an additional 1.2 GB for some games, totaling 13.7 GB compared to the 12.5 GB allocated on the current PS5.

The PS5 Pro will support Sony’s PSSR rescaling technology, offering compatibility with HDR and an architecture capable of supporting 300 TOPS 8-bit computing. The console is rumored to offer an 8K resolution, 45% faster rendering speed, and 33.5 teraflops of performance power. It will also include a removable disk drive, 1TB storage, and increase memory performance by 28% to
