Since the launch of the PS5 four years ago, PlayStation has been working hard to evolve its entertainment system and offer players the experience they expect from Sony’s platform. For this reason, they have revealed the main features of the ‘PlayStation 5 Pro‘, a new hardware that the company itself defines as the most advanced and innovative hardware to date.
Better and faster GPU
Taking all this into account, Sony assures that the new platform will run high fidelity graphics with smooth frame rates at 60 FPS. Likewise, it features an improved GPU with 67% more computing units and 28% faster memory than the current PS5 console. Overall, this allows up to 45% faster rendering for games, making the experience much smoother.
The same happens in the ray tracing plot, which has added an even more powerful component that provides more dynamic reflection and refraction of light. This allows rays to be projected at twice and sometimes triple the speed of the current PS5 console. For his part, play station Spectral Super Resolution (AI-powered upscaling) will provide gamers with super-sharp visuals by adding exceptional amounts of details as well as higher frame rates.
