WCCF Tech has just released a report with a list of rumoured specs for the PS5 Pro. Sony hasn’t formally announced the super-powered system yet, but the rumour mills have been swirling for months.

What’s New With the PlayStation 5 Pro?

The latest rumours point towards “accelerated ray tracing and other performance improvements”, which would make sense. Why release a more powerful console of it isn’t going to bring something substantially different to the table?

If the PlayStation 5 Pro were to offer ray-tracing at 60fps, I’d argue that would be enough of a sell for the more visually-minded to splash out for the new system. We’re already in the world of consistent 4K, so what else could it offer? AI? Are we there yet?

Are There Specifications?

Back to the rumours though. WCCF Tech doesn’t include a source, so take this with a huge grain of salt. It does point to another report, by RedGamingTech, who actually lists a bunch of specifications:

  • Eight core Zen 2 CPU at 4GHz
  • RDNA 3 custom GPU with 60 compute units at 2500-2800MHz
  • 16GB GDDR6 RAM clocked at 18,000MT/s
  • Double Tempest engine performance
  • Two shader engines

The only feature of the console that RedGamingTech claims is still on the table is clock speeds. The reason being, Sony is currently testing a bunch of different versions, so we won’t know until it’s closer to launch.

Didn’t We Just Get a PlayStation 5 Slim?

Yep! Sony’s latest iteration of the console is the PS5 Slim, which comes in two different variants. There’s a model with a disc, and an all-digital model, mimicking the launch versions.

As the name suggests, this is a slimmed down version of the original, which is probably too big. However, there is one glaring omission: the stand. For some reason, Sony is now selling this separately at $30.

However, the detachable disc drive is a positive. It costs roughly $80, and you can whack it on the digital version to turn it into a disc console. That’s great, as you can save money initially but change your mind later.
