So, 60 compute units for the GPU?

 

[Bernoulli]

RDNA introduced the "workgroup processor" ("WGP"). The WGP replaces the compute unit as the basic unit of shader computation hardware/computing. One WGP encompasses 2 CUs. This allows significantly more compute power and memory bandwidth to be directed at a single workgroup. In RDNA, 1 CU is one half of a WGP.

so the PS5 pro has 60 CU big jump from the PS5 36

 

[tusharngf]

What means 30 wgps?

as per ERA it means 60 CU's. 2 X of current ps5

 

[skneogaf]

Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon.

 

[93xfan]

Disappointing if true. No need for a Pro this gen. How about a slim instead?

Also wondering if lack of a Pro enhanced CoD will make a difference in sales.

 

[mitch1971]

These numbers may be great, but what baseline does the article have to offer for comparision?

 

[Husky]

Trinity again? Back in 2016 that was the fake rumored codename for the PS Vita 2. PS4 Pro was Neo I think, and PS VR was codenamed Morpheus.

 

[MisterXDTV]

What the hell is "WGP" and "mts"?
Am I a tech illiterate? Never ever heard of whatever that is supposed to represent?

Edit: Calling it now, this is absolute bull

WGP is used for AMD graphics cards instead of CUs now (RDNA3)

Work Group Processor

MT/s is a standard for memory clock speed if I'm not mistaken

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Legendary thread.
We getting 8k 30 fps games!

With FSR 3.0+, who knows?

 

[systemr123]

So, Xbox is Agent Smith, is that it?

Agent Smith is the one virus that threatens and almost completely destroys everything, so yes, sounds like MS

 

[Bernardougf]

700-800 dollar powerfull console .. DO IT

 

[mansoor1980]

8k performance mode at only 30watts? no way

 

[Sanepar]

as per ERA it means 60 CU's. 2 X of current ps5

2x ps5 power is not enough for 4k.

It will be a nice 1440p machine.

 

[skit_data]

as per ERA it means 60 CU's. 2 X of current ps5

Doesn't it have 36 CUs, 40 CUS but 4 are inactive because of yields?

 

[Captain Toad]

Still waiting on that Switch Pro. Any year now.

 

[balls of snow]

So whats that power equivalent to in nvidia gpu terms. A gtx 3080 ti?

 

[TrebleShot]

2x ps5 power is not enough for 4k.

It will be a nice 1440p machine.

If you are just hitting 60fps it’s more than enough

 

[Bernardougf]

2x ps5 power is not enough for 4k.

It will be a nice 1440p machine.

And that +60fps is enough

 

[prinz_valium]

as per ERA it means 60 CU's. 2 X of current ps5

PS5 has 40CUs (36 active)
Series X has 56CUs (52 active)

 

[Bernardougf]

Disappointing if true. No need for a Pro this gen. How about a slim instead?

All things point to a slim this year and a pro next year .. there a things for any taste

 

[tusharngf]

PS5 has 40CUs (36 active)
Series X has 56CUs (52 active)

I mean 2 times power of current ps5.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

that secret second PxS can't cum soon enough.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Doesn't it have 36 CUs, 40 CUS but 4 are inactive because of yields?

Yes. 40CUs in the PS5, 4 being disabled, so 36CUs currently. We do not know the clocks speeds which are a factor.

If they keep 16GB of RAM and it's 18,000MTS (mega transfers /second) then it would be about 576GB/s speed.

 

[Sanepar]

If you are just hitting 60fps it’s more than enough

Well a 6900 xt is double ps5 power. It is not enough for 4k@60 fps so no.

 

[Kilau]

Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon.

Confirmed bomba.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Well a 6900 xt is double ps5 power. It is not enough for 4k@60 fps so no.

We don't need native 4K. Waste. Of. Resources. 1440p/1800p reconstruction is plenty fine.

Especially when every PC gamer uses DLSS/FSR/XeSS, so why are we always falling back on the "native train" when it comes to consoles?

 

[prinz_valium]

I mean 2 times power of current ps5.

With higher frequency and IPC gain, yes.
Otherwise not.

 

[Flabagast]

It saddens me that we will probably get a PS5 Pro before having a true PS5 visual showcase title (something akin to Uncharted 4 during the PS4 generation)

 

[StereoVsn]

There is a segment of gamers who just like talking about upgraded existing specs. And there are websites /youtubers with podcasts who like to capitalize on this need to theorize about upgrading existing tech.

There is no PS5 pro.

Macro and Micro, global, economic factors make a PS5 Pro a non starter. But obviously, people will discuss this fake news as if it's real, because...

Eh, considering performance of truly current gen that have been coming out, I don't see why Sony couldn't release a Pro version in over a year from now.

There would be enough of takers for it, probably same 20% of user base as PS4 Pro.

Plus it will stir up conversations and most devs will have higher performance versions directed at PC users anyways. Not much downside really.

 

[Dr.D00p]

has 60 CU big jump from the PS5 36

There would probably be a drop in clock speeds though, so it's likely that won't be a linear uplift in performance.

The higher PS5 clocks are what keeps it basically at parity with the Series X and its more powerful GPU in terms of pixel pushing power.

Lower clocks means cheaper cooling solution as well

 

[Roxkis_ii]

I can't wait to play all the ps5 pro enhanced games on my Ps6 in 2030

 

[rofif]

"The world's first nuclear explosion occurred on July 16, 1945, when a plutonium implosion device was tested at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range, known as the Jornada del Muerto. The code name for the test was "Trinity.""

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

This is so stupid, there is absolutely no use for a PS5 Pro whatsoever.

Anyway guys, which PS5 non-pro mode do you prefer? 30 FPS quality mode? 60 FPS performance mode? Or 1080p + raytracing?

 

[fart town usa]

Sucks because the game selection says I don't need one but my PSVR2 says I do.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Let’s gooooooo

I’m ready. Second half of the generation will be insane! Give me the top PlayStation spec all day.

Haters in the mud, I see you, I know why you don’t want this to happen, but Cerny don’t care about you he cares about US

 

[Spyxos]

 

[German Hops]

 

[XesqueVara]

The cpu is probally 8 Z4c cores.

No, i expect an increase
when you see RDNA 3 cards they are even clocked higher at 2,8Ghz and have 84 CU

 

[Rusty Shackelford]

Once we get more native Gen9 games released, maybe I'll bite.

 

[Sanepar]

We already have that right?

The Series X GPU is outdated in terms of frequency
Every RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 run at ps5 clock speeds and even higher at 2,8
That could explain the issues the series x is having , big GPU but slow frequency

I mean you don't know any of this though?

The whole point of the Pro would be to produce stable 60 fps at 4k or 1440p (upscaled to 4K) with some RTX on a side.

If they can't do that, there is no point of Pro in the first place.

 

[Zathalus]

Not even twice as powerful as the PS5, especially with that sad increase to memory bandwidth.

Seems a bit useless honestly.

 

[StereoVsn]

We already have that right?

With FSR you really want FSR 2.0/2.1 quality upscaled at 4K, meaning it's rendered at 1440p. Otherwise it looks pretty bad in motion in a lot of games when blown up on a large TV.

 

[TxKnight7]

If you think the codename has some form of familiarity, you’re right. Sony has used The Matrix codenames in the past, with the PlayStation 4 Pro under the codename ‘Neo’ and PlayStation VR under ‘Morpheus’.

So, Xbox is Agent Smith, is that it?

Series Smith!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

If tur PS5 pro releases at the end of 2024 we can expect RDNA4 or what??

 

[XesqueVara]

The Series X GPU is outdated in terms of frequency
Every RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 run at ps5 clock speeds and even higher at 2,8
That could explain the issues the series x is having , big GPU but slow frequency

Bro even PS5 is slow for RDNA 2 Standards we are talking about a Architecture with run at 2.5ghz with ease.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet Ps5 pro will like like some future space energy thingy

 

[feynoob]

What is the point of the pro, if devs can't hit 4k 60fps.
