The PlayStation 5 Pro has no reason for happening, as some developers feel they still have to make the most of the base model. As reported by GamesIndustry.biz's Christopher Dring in a recent podcast, PlayStation 5 users will upgrade to the new system, but some developers told him during GDC 2024 that they don't feel they need it, as they have to make the most out of the base model. Additionally, some companies feel the mid-gen refresh isn't going to grow the market significantly, as it feels like the current generation has yet to start, rendering the need for a […]

Sony is said to have launched an internal investigation into the leaked documents about the rumored PS5 Pro model. Last week, additional specs and details about Sony's rumored mid-gen hardware refresh surfaced - the PlayStation 5 Pro. As claimed by YouTuber 'Moore's Law is Dead', the leaked PS5 Pro document has revealed that the new PS5 model will sport a larger GPU with faster system memory. In addition, the console will offer substantially faster rendering than the current PS5. Also, the console is said to offer a significantly better ray tracing architecture. Following this leak, known leaker Tom Henderson chimed […]
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. A new report by Insider Gaming reveals some additional information on Sony's yet-to-be-revealed upscaler, which will debut with the PlayStation 5 Pro. According to the report, the PS5 Pro's PSSR currently supports 4K resolution and is aiming for 4K, 60 FPS and 8K, 30 FPS, but the goal for the future is to hit the 4K, 120 FPS, and 8K, 60 […]
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. Speaking on X/Twitter, Kepler commented on the limited CPU boost of the upcoming system, saying that it could be related to backward compatibility with the next-generation system. The way Sony handled backward compatibility, Kepler said, is complex and required new hardware to run at the same or higher clock speed even if the new hardware is faster at lower clock speeds. If Sony is using Zen 6 dense cores for the PlayStation 6, […]
Additional details on the PlayStation 5 Pro specs emerged online today, highlighting boosts for CPU and system memory performance and other GPU details. A new report by Insider Gaming reveals how the console's CPU will be identical to that of the base model, but the system's High CPU Frequency mode will take it to 3,85 GHz, a 10% boost over the standard PS5. System memory also sees a 28% boost over the base model, going from 448 GB/s to 576 GB/s. Audio will also improve, with the console's ACV running at a higher clock speed. New details on the PlayStation […]
Yesterday, YouTuber Moore's Law Is Dead detailed the specifications of the PS5 Pro console in a new video. As our readers know all too well, Moore's Law Is Dead doesn't exactly have a perfect track record when it comes to hardware leaks, thus causing many to doubt the veracity of the leaked specs. However, reputable gaming insider Tom Henderson has now confirmed with his sources that those PS5 Pro specifications are actually real. Let's recap them, then: Larger GPU with faster memory, providing 45% improved performance in rasterized rendering; Massively improved ray tracing architecture that should deliver 2-3x speedup over […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro rendering is said to be about 45% faster than the base model, and its ray tracing performance double to triple that of the original console, according to rumors circulating online. In a new YouTube video, Moore's Law is Dead shared an alleged leaked document that provides new information on Sony's current generation hardware refresh. The console will come with three key features, which include a larger GPU with faster system memory, which will provide a 45% faster rendering over the base model, a better ray tracing architecture, which will deliver up to three times, four times […]
The PS5 Pro performance shouldn't be expected to be double the framerate in GPU-limited scenarios over the base model based on specs alone, according to a recent analysis. Speaking in a new video, Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter, Alexander Battaglia, and John Linneman commented on the rumored hardware refresh from Sony and the level of performance that should be expected out of it, saying that it is difficult to predict as of now based on the rumored specs alone. Unlike with the PlayStation 4 Pro, this time around, we are not getting double the number of CUs, so the increased clock […]
AI upscaling is set to be deployed starting this year in AMD's gaming devices, which include the yet-to-be-revealed PlayStation 5 Pro and PlayStation 6. Speaking with the No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups YouTube channel in a new interview, AMD Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster talked about what's next for the company regarding AI, saying that 2024 is a huge year for AMD, as they just completed AI enabling in their entire portfolio. 2024 is also a huge deployment year for them, as they are enabling their gaming devices to upscale using AI, hinting at the fact that […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro rumored AI upscaling feature will run on the console's GPU, as the APU powering the system has no neural processing units, according to a known leaker. Commenting on X/Twitter, well-known AMD leaker Kepler commented on the claims that the console will support NVIDIA DLSS, which are false for obvious reasons, saying that the rumored AI upscaling tech the system should feature will run on the GPU. As the Viola APU that powers the system has no NPUs, the console should be able to support AI-enhanced upscaling via gfx11/12 WMMA intrinsics, which the leaker feels should be […]
Sony recently started sharing information on the PlayStation 5 Pro specs with third-party publishers, judging from a recent report of a well-known insider. Speaking during the latest episode of the Sacred Symbols podcast, host and known insider Colin Moriarty said that he was explicitly told by one of his contacts at a midsize third-party publisher that the company has been informed regarding the console's specs. Unsuprisingly, first and second-party developers already have access to the PS5 Pro details, according to the insider. With information regarding the PlayStation 5 Pro specs being in the hands of multiple studios and publishers, there's […]
