FULL STORY
======================================================================

The reveal of a PlayStation 5 Pro seems all but guaranteed, though its 
impossible to say for sure what kind of hardware improvements any potential 
new model of the system would bring. That said, there are loads of leaks and 
rumors and one, now verified by Tom Warren of The Verge, suggests that the 
majority of the improvements would focus on the consoles GPU performance. 

In a recent post to X / Twitter , Warren described how Sony has made some 
interesting choices for its next console according to PS5 Pro development 
documentation that he has allegedly seen. While not new information, he 
explained that the consoles CPU will target [a] 3.85GHz [clock speed] (10% 
more than PS5) in a new high frequency CPU mode with a separate 3.5 GHz 
standard mode that matches the specification of the base PS5 . 

He said that developers "will be able to pick the mode, and also get access 
to 1.2GB more system memory," potentially offering small performance 
improvements in any compatible titles. This all lines up perfectly with the 
latest PS5 Pro specs leak and Warren claims that he can verify that this 
information is "accurate," lending it even more credibility. 

While a 10% increase in CPU clock speed and 1.2GB extra system memory doesnt 
seem like a particularly ground-breaking overhaul, Warren subsequently added 
a reply that stated the PS5 Pros GPU would receive a whopping 45% increase in 
power. This reinforces information from the previous leak and would be a 
major step up for the console. 

A substantially improved GPU could finally offer proper support for 8K 
gaming, not to mention better performance in titles that feature significant 
amounts of ray tracing or other GPU-heavy features. Now that hugely ambitious 
games like Lords of the Fallen and Dragons Dogma 2 are struggling to maintain 
solid frame rates on the base console, this could be the ticket for those 
searching for the smoothest possible experiences. You might also like...
