Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Leaks: Faster GPU and Other Features at Launch

By the end of 2024, Sony plans to release the PS5 Pro, an enhanced version of the PlayStation 5. Leaked specs for the next system have appeared, according to a report by The Verge, and they show notable upgrades above the PS5 standard.

According to the source, Sony is pushing developers to make more use of the PS5 Pro’s powerful graphics capabilities, such as ray tracing. A “Trinity Enhanced” badge will be applied to games that have been tuned for the Pro model; this label indicates significant improvements in both performance and graphics.

The PS5 Pro, code-named Trinity, is anticipated to have a slightly faster CPU mode and a more potent GPU than the PS5 standard. This implies that the Pro version will be more capable of rendering games with ray tracing turned on, perhaps providing greater frame rates and resolutions in certain games.

According to Sony’s docs, the PS5 Pro’s GPU rendering may be around 45% quicker than the PS5’s normal rendering. To improve ray tracing capabilities, the Pro model could also include a quicker system memory and a bigger GPU. With the PS5 Pro, Sony intends to use a more potent ray tracing architecture that might provide speeds up to three times quicker than those of the standard PS5.

The Pro model’s CPU will be identical to that of the PS5 standard, but it will have a new mode that increases its clock speed. According to Sony’s literature, Trinity will have a CPU clock that aims for 3.85GHz, which is around 10% faster than the standard PS5. Developers will have access to a “standard mode” that operates at 3.5GHz and a “high CPU frequency mode” that operates at 3.85GHz.

Sony intends to boost the PS5 Pro’s memory bandwidth to 576GB/s from the normal PS5’s 448GB/s, a 28% increase in system memory. In addition, the PS5 Pro may provide developers an extra 1.2GB of system memory, for a total memory allotment of 13.7GB as opposed to the 12.5GB of the PS5 standard model.

Sony highlights that the PlayStation 5 is a high-end model, and it affirms that it will keep selling the regular PS5 in addition to the new one. In order to encourage game developers to patch their titles for better performance on the Pro model, the firm wants them to produce a single package that supports both the PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles.

Developers can already get PS5 Pro test kits, demonstrating Sony’s proactive attitude to getting ready for the console’s release. Sony also wants to make sure that all of the games that are submitted for certification in August work with the PS5 Pro.
There are rumors that the PS5 Pro will launch around the holidays in 2024, which excites players who are excited to test out the improved features of Sony’s next gaming system.
