Upgraded GPU: With PS5 Pro, we are upgrading to a GPU that has 67% more Compute Units than the current PS5 console and 28% faster memory. Overall, this enables up to 45% faster rendering for gameplay, making the experience much smoother.
Advanced Ray Tracing: We’ve added even more powerful ray tracing that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows the rays to be cast at double, and at times triple, the speeds of the current PS5 console.
AI-Driven Upscaling: We’re also introducing PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, an AI-driven upscaling that uses a machine learning-based technology to provide super sharp image clarity by adding an extraordinary amount of detail.
PS5 Pro vs PS5: Graphics
Graphical power is where the PS5 Pro is putting most of its chips. The new console will upgrade its GPU for the first time in the PS5's life, with the new model boasting 45% faster rendering and additional resource for ray tracing and AI upscaling. On the ray tracing side that means you'll get more vivid and realistic reflections from the PS5 Pro vs the PS5. Cerny highlighted the new console's ability to track reflections off the side of individual cars in GT7, for example.
PS5 Pro vs PS5: Storage
While not shouted too loudly in the presentation, the PS5 Pro will actually feature 2TB of storage space compared to the original PS5's 825GB. That's a serious boost, especially for those tired of hunting down additional PS5 SSD options. It's a quality-of-life enhancement, but will mean you won't need to upgrade your storage quite so soon and you'll be able to keep more games on Sony's own super-fast system.
PS5 Pro vs PS5: CPU
At the time of writing, we're assuming that the PS5 Pro features the same Ryzen Zen 2 CPU as the original model. Mark Cerny didn't make any mention of a new model being featured in the upcoming console, and we're not one to guess at the support the new GPU might need. We'll keep this page updated if we do pick up any new information, though.
