As Sony continues to emphasize the PlayStation 5’s nearing conclusion, the development of the PS5 Pro is clearly underway. Amidst numerous rumors and leaks circulating online about the PS5 Pro and its specs, a more substantiated leak has emerged, partially validated.
YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead has shared news, asserting access to a specifications overview document for the PS5 Pro. Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming has since confirmed the authenticity of the leaked PS5 Pro specs. According to Henderson, the PS5’s successor is slated for a holiday 2024 launch.
PS5 Pro: Leaked Specs
The video uploaded by the YouTuber reveals the complete specifications of the PS5 Pro. Additionally, the YouTuber mentions altering some details in the document to protect their sources. The documents affirm the PS5 Pro’s codename as ‘Trinity,’ a rumor that has circulated for some time.
As per the information provided, Sony intends to implement PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to supplant previous antialiasing methods. There’s speculation that Sony might integrate Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR technology alongside AI upscaling. This could potentially enhance support for 8K resolutions, especially in conjunction with Ray-tracing.
Leaked documents indicate a substantial graphics enhancement for the forthcoming PS5 Pro. With an impressive 67 teraflops for 16-bit floating-point calculations, approximately 33.5 teraflops for single-precision computing, the PS5 Pro could deliver a remarkable 45% boost in rendering capabilities compared to the standard PS5 (10.28 teraflops). Additionally, the PS5 Pro may provide up to three times superior ray tracing performance compared to its predecessor, potentially quadrupling performance in certain scenarios.
In simpler terms, the PS5 Pro is anticipated to be significantly more potent than the PS5, showcasing notable enhancements in graphics and ray tracing capabilities. Below is a recap of all the leaked specifications and features:
- Rendering 45% faster than PS5
- 2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
- 33.5 Teraflops
- PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling) upscaling/antialiasing solution
- Support for resolutions up to 8K is planned for future SDK version
- Custom machine learning architecture
- AI Accelerator, supporting 300 TOPS of 8-bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point
While YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead hasn’t always been reliable in the tech and gaming community, Tom Henderson is widely trusted and respected. Henderson’s confirmation of the leaked specs from his sources lends credibility to the notion that the PS5 Pro, with such a significant leap in specifications, is likely on the horizon.
Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that Sony has not officially confirmed this information. Therefore, it’s advisable to approach these leaks and even confirmations with caution. Are you looking forward to the PS5 Pro? Let us know your opinions in the comment box underneath.
