PlayStation 5 Pro AI Upscaling Will Run on the GPU, as Viola APU Has No NPUs – Rumor

Along with reporting that the PS5 Pro would have a 28 percent higher system memory than the base model, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson also noted that it would have a detachable disc drive and 1 TB space. This reportedly ensures it remains “competitive” with the latest PS5 model, whose Blu-ray disc drive is detachable.

Leaked specifications for Sony's unannounced PlayStation 5 Pro console have been posted online, and show the upgrades present in the souped-up console expected to launch later this year.

The main internal goal of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler is to deliver 4K, 120 frames per second and 8K, 60 frames per second gameplay, although it won't be achieved on PlayStation 5 Pro due to hardware limitations.

Sony’s rumored PlayStation 5 Pro continues to pick up steam following recent reports about its specs, which Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson recently corroborated. However, the latter also provided some fresh new details, including the console’s system memory having a bandwidth of 576 GB/s.

The PlayStation 5 Pro CPU 10% boost over the base model's could have something to do with PlayStation 6 backward compatibility, according to a well-known AMD leaker.

Sony is said to be working on a ‘Pro' version of the PlayStation 5, aiming for a launch later this year. Industry analysts had said last month that a PS5 Pro with updated hardware capabilities will likely be released before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches in 2025. Now, a new report has detailed the specifications of the upcoming console. The leaks reveal that the PS5 Pro will include improvements to system memory, CPU clock speed, in addition to graphical performance.

Additional details on the PlayStation 5 Pro specs emerged online today, highlighting boosts for CPU and system memory performance and other GPU details.

Amidst the ongoing buzz surrounding Sony's anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro, leaks detailing purported specifications continue to surface online. Though speculative in nature, these leaks fuel the growing discourse surrounding the potential enhancements and features of Sony's next iteration of the PS5.

The PS5 Pro has been in the rumour mill for over a year at this point, and though official word from Sony regarding a mid-gen refresh of its console has been nonexistence, the console’s specs have been aggressively leaked in recent months. Now, more details have emerged on that front.

Confession time: I already have a copy of Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the PS5 even though I still don't have a PlayStation 5 console. I never get consoles the moment they come out and usually wait a few years for their next version. In the PlayStation 5's case, I thought it was going to be the PS5 Slim, but it looks like I could have another option by the end of the year: The PlayStation 5 Pro. Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming says the PS5 Pro details leaked by the Moore’s Law is Dead YouTube channel came from documentation Sony itself recently sent to third-party developers.

It's been a little while since the PlayStation 5 launched, and as we come up to the console's fourth birthday, talk of a PlayStation 5 Pro releasing later this year has been circling. We've had several rumors about an improved PS5 model coming soon, reportedly codenamed Project Trinity, though quite how it could meaningfully improve upon the base PS5, which is already a pretty impressive console, was up in the air.

Some tasty PS5 Pro specs have leaked out into the wild, and the console is allegedly set to feature its own upscaling tech. Dubbed Spectral Super Resolution, the tool will seemingly work similarly to the likes of DLSS and FSR, but Sony apparently thinks it’ll produce better results than AMD’s GPU feature.
