Last-minute PS5 Pro leaks suggest the system will feature a 16.7 TFLOPS GPU and 16GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM

The start of Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro is imminent and is scheduled to launch in four days (November 7th) at a price of $699. At this price, Sony promises a massively improved resolution and frame rate through the use of AI upscaling with PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and a beefed up CPU and GPU compared to the base PlayStation 5 released in November 2020. Given the lack of one With similar upgrades to Microsoft's Xbox brand, the gaming throne of the high-end console appears to have actually been ceded to Sony – and just last night an apparent teardown of the new, most powerful console appeared on YouTube.

The video teardown of the PlayStation 5 Pro ahead of its release date appears to have come from a Portuguese console repair shop, with the process revealing an internal layout very similar to that of the PlayStation 5 Slim model. Other sources have noted that these similarities would make the PlayStation 5 Slim's faceplates compatible with the Pro, although the locking mechanisms do not appear to have been specifically modified to prevent this functionality, so this takedown also seems legitimate.

Aside from some noted similarities with the PS5 Pro, there's not much else that's immediately notable about this PlayStation 5 teardown, unless you specifically want it to be see the internals. However, the performance of these internals cannot be accurately assessed using a teardown, as only the circuit boards are visible and not the numbers, which might raise some expectations. To that end, let's look at a Twitter post that also received a lot of press attention this week.

The PS5 Pro specs are officially released thanks to early deliveries to overseas buyers. Features 16GB of RAM for developers, 2GB of module for the system (18GB of RAM) and a 16.7 teraflop GPU. Can't wait to see what Rockstar cooks up with this hardware pic.twitter.com/XCGqhQc3GB November 2, 2024

This alleged PlayStation 5 Pro specs leak was posted on Twitter yesterday afternoon by user @videotechuk_, previously known for posting leaks from Rockstar Games. This leak mostly contains information that we already knew or expected, including the fact that the PlayStation 5 Pro will continue to use the same Zen 2 architecture as its immediate predecessor, the PlayStation 5. Sticking with Zen 2 is likely a conscious decision for strict compatibility with the base PlayStation 5, although some previous reports have mentioned that the PS5 Pro could potentially support higher clock speeds compared to the base.

What's most noticeable about this alleged spec leak is that the PS5 Pro GPU is now expected to operate at 16.7 teraflops and have a full 16GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM, so it won't share this with the base PlayStation 5 models CPU has to share. Rumors also suggest that the PlayStation 5 Pro will have 2GB of dedicated DDR5 RAM system memory. This represents a significant departure from previous PS5 models with unified storage.

Four years after the PlayStation 5's original November 2020 release date, it's clear that gamers are more excited than ever to get their hands on the new PlayStation Pro console, even if it's Sony's second mid-generation “Pro” upgrade acts. If Xbox doesn't and you're not ready to commit to PC gaming, the PlayStation 5 Pro still makes sense, and early benchmarking of its improvements in PSSR image quality and support for real-time ray tracing graphics looks promising .
