PS5 Pro: The Most Powerful Console’s Specs got Leaked

PS5 Pro will launch next year in September, and specifications have just been leaked. If the leak is true, then there’s no denying that it will be the most powerful console ever. Obviously, nothing has been confirmed by Sony regarding the specifications yet, but we got a hint of the upgrade through a recent AMD announcement.

In the past, if we look at the difference between PS3 and PS4, there was a big leap. Although nowadays it is harder to make a big difference, smaller upgrades make gameplay much better. Similarly, it would be a smaller leap in PS5 and PS5 Pro, but still an upgrade will make a difference.

Following are the upgrades which we might see in PS5 Pro:

PS5 Pro Specs got Leaked

There are some improvements to memory, ray tracing, and upscaling. These are the key points we got from the AMD announcement.

• Trinity is the codename for the upcoming PS5 Pro. It is the result of three key technologies: fast storage, accelerated ray tracing, and upscaling. Fast storage is already an existing key in PS5 technology (it uses hardware-accelerated compression and decompression). PS5 Pro will have accelerated ray tracing and upscaling.
• The PS5 Pro will have 16GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit memory bus and 576 GB/s memory bandwidth.
• The architecture is RDNA3, but it will take ray tracing improvements from RDNA4. BVH traversal will be handled by dedicated RT hardware instead of fully relying on the shaders.

So basically, we will see a big difference in performance in areas like ray tracing, most probably taking the option of the newer ray pathing. In PlayStation 5 Pro, rather than depending fully on shaders, the console will depend on the hardware to produce those ray tracing improvements. Finally, we will also see more upscaling, which PC players have been experiencing through AMD Fidelity FX and NVIDIA DLSS.”
