The apparent specs for the as-yet unannounced PlayStation 5 Pro console have been shared online.
Documentation explaining the console’s specifications was initially leaked by YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, before being detailed by Insider Gaming then verified by IGN, which says the document comes from Sony Interactive Entertainment‘s Developer Network.
The specs suggest that the PS5 Pro’s CPU will be identical to that of the standard PS5, but that the new console will have a ‘High CPU Frequency Mode’ which increases the CPU by 10% to 3.85GHz, but reduces GPU performance by around 1% as a result.
The GPU itself will be powered by 33.5 teraflops versus the PS5’s 10.28 teraflops, but this doesn’t mean it will be more than three times as powerful.
As The Verge notes, changes in AMD’s architecture means it’s difficult to directly compared teraflops directly between PS5 and PS5 Pro, and that in reality the comparison is more like 10.28 versus around 17 teraflops (indeed, the documentation leaked by Moore’s Law is Dead suggests “rendering is about 45% faster”).
The console’s apparent upscaling and antialiasing features are also listed in the specs. Named PSSR (which stands for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), it’s believed this could be the proprietary DLSS-like solution discussed last year by Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubb.
Last month CNBC cited a number of games industry analysts who reportedly saidthey expect Sony to launch a PlayStation 5 Pro console later this year.
“There seems to be a broad consensus in the game industry that Sony is indeed preparing a launch of a PS5 Pro in the second half of 2024,” said Serkan Toto, CEO of Tokyo-based games consultancy Kantan Games.
“And Sony will want to make sure to have a great piece of hardware ready when GTA VI hits in 2025, a launch that will be a shot in the arm for the entire gaming industry.”
While Sony had previously hoped to ship a record 25 million PlayStation 5 consoles during its current fiscal year ending in March, it said last month that it now expects to miss that target by four million units.
A report last month calculated that Sony’s value dropped by around $10 billion following its revised PS5 sales forecast, but also partly due to a drop in operating margin in its gaming business.
