This PS5 Pro leak reveals a massive jump in performance

Sony is indeed working on a more advanced version of the PlayStation 5 that could feature a more powerful GPU that’s potentially up to three times faster for specific tasks compared to current PS5 models.

YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead claims to have obtained a technical overview document for the PS5 Pro, code-named Trinity, and Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has confirmed the leaked specifications’ accuracy, which suggests a holiday 2024 release window for the console.

The leaked technical document mentions some of the potential specs, including 67 teraflops of 16-bit floating-point calculations, which translates to around 33.5 teraflops of single-precision compute. This is a 45% rendering performance boost over the standard PS5, which operates at 10.28 teraflops.

Now, comparing teraflops between the two consoles doesn’t really make sense due to architectural changes in AMD’s RDNA technology. The PS5 Pro could potentially move from a setup akin to an AMD Radeon RX 6700 to something closer to a Radeon RX 7800 XT, offering improved ray tracing capabilities and up to three times the performance in some cases.

Additional details from Henderson indicate that the PS5 Pro might follow the recent PS5 redesign, with a detachable disc drive and faster system memory running at 576 GB/s, along with improved audio hardware capable of processing more effects.

The Pro variant is also rumored to share the same CPU as the
