Impressive-Sounding PS5 Pro Specs And Release Window Reportedly Leaked

Jim Ryan blew PlayStation completely off course. It’s good he’s on his way out.

Here, for those coping about 30fps all of a sudden becoming 60fps titles. Directly from a brand new Digital Foundry article.

"In real terms, those hoping that PS5 Pro will turn CPU-limited 30fps titles into super-smooth 60fps experiences will be disappointed. With that said, the 3.85GHz mode will bring greater stability to 30fps games that may not be hitting their frame-rate target when CPU limited - and yes, we have started to see those titles. And if the one percent impact to GPU performance is verified, that's not really an issue in the age of dynamic resolution scaling. There'll be an imperceptible reduction in rendering resolution and that's it. If a game is CPU limited, the GPU will stall and will lose far more performance anyway."

As i said it before, this "upgrade" will be a meme. Sony will sell it to you by focusing on nothing but its gpu, but what does it matter how much better the gpu is when the cpu is already bottlenecking the current 10tflops PS5. What do you think will happen when that garbage tier cpu is overclocked by a pathetic 0.25ghz, and is paired with a 33tflops gpu?

What a joke.

I think Sony should focus on games and not hardware...

MS timing will be totally off!

Oct/Nov 2024: PS5 pro releases (Most powerfullest console)

Oct/Nov 2026: XB Series X2 (Most powerfullest console)

Oct/Nov 2027: PS6 (Most powerfullest console)

PS5 pro releases this year and so between then and 2026 it will be the must own console. A few gamers, such as myself will bite the XBsX2 and most can wait another year for the PS6 release. Cuz you know Sony will release in 2027 instead of waiting for 2028 and hence MS's timing is totally off and will bring their brand even lower with all the other controversy they are currently surrounded in.

Such overkill imo. I bet my eyes and brain wouldn't even be able to appreciate the visual difference at all. Graphics, graphics, graphics. Performance, performance, performance. It's all these new Sony and Microsoft consoles care about. I love my PS4, but that's because of all the cool games on it. In the end, the games library on a console is the only thing that really matters imo. The Switch is nowhere close to the PS4 in graphics, but I still love it, and some of its first party games. It's been 4 years, and I still see zero reason to upgrade to a PS5, because the PS4's graphics are MORE than good enough for me (I really will never be able to understand or empathize with graphics junkies ), and there are barely any PS5 exclusive games that I actually care about. So far the only thing that that can persuade me to make the transition is Black Myth: Wukong, when that comes out. Thankfully the PS5 is backwards compatible (none of the PS4 games that don't work on the PS5 are of interest to me, except AC: Syndicate), so since I haven't bought a PS5 yet, I guess I can grab this Pro version later this year, and Wukong with it. Assuming these rumours are even true (I won't hold my breath).

My first thought was"whoa" regarding the massively larger GPU, then wondered why they were claiming only 45% better...then realized what I bet they're doing. Lying, again.

Like the base model isn't 10TF, that's a hypothetical it can't do, versus the 12TF the Xbox can ACTUALLY do.

Well this they're playing more shenanigans. They're either adding in the normal measurement to the ray tracing measurement, maybe adding in the new AI hardware too, or they're counting half precision math or something like that. They're using numbers that while technically "true", are lies by virtue of that not being how anything else is reported.

If it's roughly as powerful as Xbox though, plus adds AI hardware specifically for upscaling (if Sony can somehow touch Nvidia on that), that would be a nice (and more realistic) upgrade

Xbox has AI hardware in it too (one of a few hardware features missing on PS5) but I'm unclear what if anything it's been used for, and whether it can be used for upscaling or not. It's possible it can't be, or at least not like Nvidia's solutions, though you'd think first party titles would find ways to use it, but I've not seen it talked about.

lmao. insider gaming straight up copy and pasted garbage source moore law is dead.

then edited to make it look like their own.

spelling error are their...

but hey real research is hard for gamers...

Current gen has been a disappointment.
No real exclusives (mostly timed) and with gamer backlog by the time you wait for it to be discounted it's on pc or something.
Outside of the hype to find the console in stores, the Playstation platform and PS+ have mostly stagnated while demanding increased subscription costs for less value.
AAA publishers have not really been making good games due to multitude of factors lately.
So having not seen much of the hardware utilized properly, I don't see a pro being all to necessary unless your hardcore into playing everything in the highest possible fps on a console...

The reason you couldn't get the PS5 when it first came out was because of Covid, dummies. I was living in China at the time - this is where it's made. The country was shut down a good two months before Covid came to the US.

Anyway, this is a first day buy for me, no doubt. I love my PS5, but it can't do justice to my C3 LG TV, which can render games at 122 mz. How many triple A games go past 60 fps - almost none that have been released the past few years. So there is a huge market of people with these new TVs waiting for this matching upgrade. When the PS5 came out, most TVs, even new ones, didn't have HDMI 2.1 ports. Now my TV has four of them.

I own the PS5 and have no intentions on buying a Pro as they just released the slim and now people will have to spend money on the Pro, I am pretty done with consoles as you can't upgrade them. and have to buy the latest model.

It took almost 3 years before people could walk into a store and buy a PS 5 off the shelf. What’s the point of making a PS 5 Pro that will take the next five years for people to get their hands on, just in time for the PS 6?

BTW, there is always a need for a more powerful machine if you have to choose between a power graphics and performance mode. Until they reach the point where you automatically can have both like a good gaming PC already has.

33.5 is a pretty massive jump from 10.3, obviously. Now let’s hope it’s actually true, because if it is, I’m selling my current PS5 and getting the Pro. I see no reason to keep my current PS5 if I can get a more powerful console to go along with my PC.

It’ll be the most powerful platform to play GTA6 on until the inevitable PC release in a few years, and Microsoft has no plans for any hardware upgrade so yeah, I’ll be playing on PS5 Pro + PC until the generation is over.

I haven’t owned a console since the PS3. If I decided to dip my toes back into console gaming, which model should I be looking at based on 4/4Pro/5

still fake until Sony themselves say something. Plus, the thing will be stupid expensive, so I don't see this moving units at all. My guess is 700usd to 800usd with these specs.

Kind of do not see the point. No decent games that push the limits of the ps5 now. And the entire reason Ps5 is not selling is because there is not games that are not on the ps4 also. Not anything worth playing anyway.

These specs make no sense AT ALL. Thats some next gen specs not a mid gen refresh lol
