Insider Billbil-kun revealed more details.
The rumors about Sony’s improved console seem to be coming to an end, and we should see an official presentation soon. This time, the new information was not provided by Tom Henderson, who has provided the most details so far, but by another, very reliable source of information, Billbil-kun, via Dealabs magazine.
Let’s start with the main thing, the presentation of the console should be very close, this is exactly how it should happen. in the first half of Septemberthat is, within the next two weeks. This could also be tied to the supposed State of Play presentation that Jeff Grubb has talked about before. Billbil doesn’t give a potential release date, but Henderson has previously said November.
The insider further confirms that the console’s name is indeed PS5 Probut he was also the first to reveal it designalthough only in the form of a sketch, and not a photo of the console itself. In any case, it is very similar to last year’s Slim version, it just needs to be a little thicker and have more black stripes down the middle. Like the Slim version, it only has a power button on the front and 2 USB-C portsthat is, there is no USB-A, unlike the first version of the PS5. Driver DualSense should be exactly the same.
The console lacks mechanics, but it would be a bit strange if Sony completely abandoned them in the middle generation. Therefore, it can be assumed that it will be solved in the same way as with the Slim version, in the form of replaceable covers. However, Billbil adds that he has not yet seen a single version with mechanics.
In conclusion, I will only add that according to earlier information, the PlayStation 5 Pro should offer approximately 45% greater graphics performance in rasterization and several times in ray tracing (presumably 2x-4x). The memory capacity will remain the same – 16 GB, but it will become a little faster, offering higher bandwidth, and the system will occupy a little less of it, leaving developers more for the game itself. The eight-core processor with Zen 2 architecture also remained the same, but will now offer a mode with a frequency increase of 10%.
Perhaps the main attraction of the new console is its exclusive scaling technology, PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR. According to current information, it should offer significantly better image quality than FSR, which is widely used on consoles, while its implementation should not be complicated at all, and it can be done retroactively for already released games.
