PlayStation 5 Pro GPU specs
Following this week’s leaks on the PlayStation 5 Pro GPU specs and performance targets, we’ve learned more about the upcoming console’s specifications. For comparison, we’ll include the specifications of the standard PlayStation 5 alongside the Pro model.
System Memory
| Console | Bandwidth |
|---|---|
| Standard PlayStation 5 | 448 GB/s (14 GT/s) |
| PlayStation 5 Pro | 576 GB/s (18 GT/s) – A 28% increase |
It’s worth noting that the PlayStation 5 Pro’s system memory is reported to be more efficient than the standard console, potentially increasing the bandwidth gain by over 28%.
CPU
The CPU is identical to the standard PlayStation 5, but the Pro model has a “High CPU Frequency Mode” that boosts the clock speed to 3.85 GHz – a 10% increase over the standard console.
In this High CPU Frequency Mode, more power is allocated to the CPU, causing the GPU to downclock by around 1.5%, resulting in roughly 1% lower GPU performance.
Audio
| Console | Audio Performance |
|---|---|
| Standard PlayStation 5 | – |
| PlayStation 5 Pro | ACV runs at a higher clock speed, resulting in the ACM library having 35% more performance. More convolution reverbs and FFT/IFFT can be processed. |
GPU (Previously Revealed)
- Rendering 45% faster than PS5
- 2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases)
- 33.5 Teraflops
- PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution Upscaling) upscaling/antialiasing solution
- Support for resolutions up to 8K is planned for future SDK version
- Custom machine learning architecture
- AI Accelerator, supporting 300 TOPS of 8-bit computation / 67 TFLOPS of 16-bit floating point
- 30 WGPs running specialized BVH8 traversal shaders vs 18 WGPs running BVH4 traversal shaders on the standard PlayStation 5
Additional Details
To make the PlayStation 5 Pro as “competitive” as possible, it will have:
- A detachable disc drive identical to the latest iteration of the standard PlayStation 5
- 1TB of storage space
Currently, the PlayStation 5 Pro is running on SDK 9.00, and SDK 10.00 is expected in Fall 2024, which is the current targeted release date of the console.
