PS5 Pro Specifications Leaked, May Come With 16GB RAM: What We Know So Far

For the PS5 Pro's central processing unit (CPU), leaks suggest the continuation of the AMD Zen 2 architecture with a peak frequency of 4.4GHz.

In the gaming community, anticipation for Sony's next move following the release of the PlayStation 5 (PS5) in 2020 has fueled persistent rumours about a potential successor. Previous speculations hinted at the arrival of a PS5 Pro, promising enhanced performance, although Sony has remained tight-lipped on the matter.

Recent reports now suggest that the much-discussed PS5 Pro might see the light of day in September of the upcoming year. Alongside this rumoured launch, the console is expected to boast various performance upgrades.

PS5 Pro Specifications (Expected)

Details shared by a user on the ResetEra forums shed light on the speculated features of the PS5 Pro. The new graphics processing unit (GPU), reportedly named Viola, is said to be manufactured using TSMC's 4NP process node, featuring a target frequency of 2GHz. The architecture is rumoured to be AMD RDNA3, equipped with 30 Work Group Processors (WGPs) when fully enabled, although retail units may incorporate only 28 WGPs.

For the PS5 Pro's central processing unit (CPU), the user suggests the continuation of the AMD Zen 2 architecture with a peak frequency of 4.4GHz. The console is purportedly designed to prioritise three main technologies: fast storage, accelerated ray tracing, and upscaling, with an expected 16GB DDR6 memory boasting 576GB/s bandwidth.

The user claims that Sony's goal for the PS5 Pro is to achieve stable upscaled 4K output at over 30 frames per second. The rumoured launch date is set for September 2024, two months earlier than initially speculated for November 2024.

When questioned about the leak's accuracy, Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming refrained from commenting on other people's leaks, as per media reports. He did mention, however, that Sony internally anticipates full specifications to be leaked this month due to the distribution of development kits to third-party studios.

It's crucial to note that Sony has not officially confirmed or acknowledged the existence of the PS5 Pro. As such, any information regarding the console's release should be approached with caution, given the absence of official validation.
