PS5 Pro hardware specifications Foreign media revealed that the GPU has been nearly doubled, but analysts pointed out that there may be a problem｜Sony officially announced the new model of PS5 (PS5 Slim) not long ago, and players are naturally very concerned about another half-generation upgrade that has traditionally been available When will the “Pro machine” PS5 Pro be launched? Recently, a foreign game broke the news about the hardware specifications of PS5 Pro, and its GPU is nearly doubled compared to the original model.
PS5 Pro hardware specs revealed
According to “RedGamingTech”, a foreign media that reports hardware-related news and technical analysisreport, saying they learned about the PS5 Pro’s hardware specifications from sources. RedGamingTech pointed out that PS5 Pro will have a stronger CPU and GPU; the CPU of the Pro machine is the same 8-core AMD Zen 2 architecture as the original version, but the clock speed will be increased to 4GHz (the original version is 3.5GHz).

According to reports on the GPU, the new RDNA 3 hybrid architecture will be used, there will be 30 WGP (computing group processors, that is, 60 CU computing units), and the clock speed will also be increased to 2.5~2.8GHz. In terms of memory, it is also 16GB DDR6 high-speed memory, but an additional 2GB or 4GB of DDR5 memory may be added specifically for the game operating system (OS), so the memory capacity for games will also increase. At the end of the revelation, it was also mentioned that the performance of the PS5’s dedicated sound technology “Tempest Engine” may be improved by 2 times.

Foreign media analysis may have a hidden concern
Assuming that the above hardware specifications are true, the biggest improvement is the GPU; the original PS5’s RDNA 2 architecture has a clock speed of 2.23GHz, and the number of WPGs is 16 (32 CU computing units). The increase in the number of WGPs is almost the same. 1 times.However, according to another foreign game media “Tom’s Guide”analyzeThere is a hidden concern about this specification: because the Zen 2 CPU is already a relatively outdated old architecture, it is likely to become the “bottleneck” of the PS5 Pro, preventing it from fully utilizing the performance of the new GPU.

In particular, current ray-tracing technology is still quite heavy on CPU performance; therefore, even if the PS5 Pro’s GPU is greatly improved, it is likely that it will not be able to make a significant improvement in ray tracing due to the performance limitations of the Zen 2 architecture. AMD has launched a new generation of Zen 3 architecture as early as 2020, and it is somewhat surprising that it is not used on PS5 Pro.
Of course, in the final analysis, the above specifications are only leaks, and everything is still waiting to be officially announced by Sony; and Sony has only recently prepared to launch a new model of PS5 (PS5 Slim), and I believe that it will not announce another Pro machine so soon.
