Sony is reportedly developing a PlayStation 5 Pro model that could be up to three times faster than the existing PS5 model and feature a much more powerful GPU. Moore’s Law is dead for YouTubers He claims to have accessed the technical overview document for the PS5 Pro, codenamed Trinity, and is currently Tom Henderson insider games reports that the leaked specifications are accurate and that the console is currently scheduled to be released during the holiday period of 2024.
A screenshot of the technical document mentions 67 teraflops of 16-bit floating point computation, which equates to approximately 33.5 teraflops of single-precision computation. This reportedly results in a 45% increase in rendering performance compared to PS5. The existing PS5 is a 10.28 teraflops console, so tripling that would be a huge performance boost on the GPU side alone. PS5 Pro could also offer up to 3x more ray tracing performance, Henderson reports (“4x in some cases”).
The document, allegedly posted on Sony’s own developer portal, also mentions PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). It is rumored to use PlayStation machine learning for image upscaling similar to Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR. This may include upscaling him to 8K resolution in future versions, which will help improve the performance of his tracing on this rumored PS5 Pro hardware.
Moore’s Law is Dead isn’t necessarily the most reliable source of console leaks, but Henderson reports that Sony’s own first-party studio has been testing a PS5 Pro development kit since September. The site is said to have been made accessible to third parties in January.henderson previously reported Last year, it was announced that the PS5 Pro release date was planned for November 2024. Sony seems well on its way to meeting that ambitious deadline.
