Tom Henderson, gaming insider for Insider Gaming, has confirmed recent leaks regarding the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro. The leaks, which were sourced from documentation leaked from a PlayStation developer portal sent out to third-party developers, reveal some exciting details about the rumored console.
According to the leaks, the PS5 Pro is rumored to have 45% higher rendering performance and two to four times the ray tracing (RT) performance of the current PS5. This significant upgrade in performance is expected to address issues with the PS5 at 4K resolutions, offering smooth 60 FPS gameplay and even support for 8K gaming through aggressive upscaling.
Henderson, who has a proven track record of accurate leaks, suggests that these rumors are likely legitimate. The PS5 Pro is rumored to have a 45% faster rendering rate and up to a 4x performance upgrade for ray tracing compared to the PS5. Additionally, unknown hardware upgrades are expected to give the PS5 Pro an impressive 33.5 TFLOPs of FP16 performance.
One notable feature of the PS5 Pro is the integration of an AI accelerator to support 300 TOPS of 8-bit computation for future features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling (PSSR). Sony is also expected to make the switch from RDNA 1 to RDNA 4 for enhanced ray tracing performance on the PS5 Pro.
The launch of the PS5 Pro is anticipated during the holiday season of this year, offering fans a powerful new console with groundbreaking performance upgrades. As Henderson predicts, the PS5 Pro is rumored to be unveiled later this year, bringing excitement to gamers worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates on the official announcement of the PlayStation 5 Pro.
