After introducing the PlayStation 5 in late 2020, people have been discussing the possibility of an upgraded version called the PlayStation 5 Pro. Rumors suggest that this upgraded console might become available around the end of 2024. Some recent reports have shared a few details about the potential specifications of Sony‘s PlayStation 5 Pro.
In a new video from RedGamingTech, they mentioned that the PS5 Pro could continue using the AMD Ryzen Zen 2-based APU. The report suggests that the Zen 2-based CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads, which is the same as the regular PS5. RedGamingTech isn’t sure why Sony chose Zen 2 instead of AMD Ryzen Zen 4. However, leaks indicated that the CPU clock speed would be bumped up to 4 GHz, which might be enough to reach the desired FPS target. This also means that this time around, the Pro model will be heavily focused on the GPU.
Furthermore, the PS5 Pro could arrive with an increased ROP (Render Output Unit), thanks to 30 active workgroup processors (60 compute units). For those unaware, the base model of PS5 has 64 ROPs present in the system, and the Pro version might arrive with 64, 96, and 128 ROPs. In general, it means more graphic performance is coming to the PS5 Pro. Lastly, the device is said to come with 16GB of GDDR5 memory.
These specifications are based on the leaks, and in the future, Sony might make a few modifications to the specs. So, stay tuned for more news on PlayStation 5 Pro.
