While the PlayStation 5 Pro CPU is said to offer minimal improvements over the base model, it could bring more enhancements than anticipated.
In a new video shared this week, Moore's Law is Dead, who revealed additional information on the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation refresh console, provided some small new updates on the system as well as on the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler. According to the leaker, the console's Zen 2 CPU will be a 4nm CPU, which will be denser and potentially provide additional improvements over the base model's processor, such as reduced power consumption, better cost efficiency, and smaller form factor. As such, the system could also be smaller than the base model and the "Slim" revision launched last year. Speaking about the system's price, Moore's Law is Dead revealed that the system could fit in the 500$ price tag if Sony wants to.
As mentioned above, the leaker also provided some new information on the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscale, which will debut with the PlayStation 5 Pro. Apparently, PSSR is not a fork of the upcoming AMD FSR 4 upscaler and has been completely developed by Sony. As such, it will be very interesting to see if it will be a much better solution compared to AMD's upscaler, especially on consoles where the superior NVIDIA DLSS is not available.
The PlayStation 5 Pro is rumored to release in late 2024, so an official reveal shouldn't be too far off. We will keep you updated on the system as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
