So I guess they are cutting prices everywhere to make room for the new PS5pro,?

Better get ready to sell one I guess.

TBF Heinsenberg, as much as I enjoy a good console rumour discussion, I'm gonna a need a solid receipt to believe a PS5 Pro is imminent (~ 12 months away).

I doubt you get a "solid receipt" until much closer to launch as they would not want to slow current model sales

Just my 2 cents though

Sure buddy.

Time will tell I guess, but to not even be beyond the 'vague forum rumour stage' a year out seems....unlikely to me.

We would be getting more than just hints, rumors and speculation of it by now. Especially considering all the shit that leaked out of the ABK hearing. No mention of "pro" consoles from MS or PS.

Tom Henderson has been the most reliable leaker outside of possibly the snitch. If the new discless PS5 model is indeed released this year then the PS5 Pro is a certainty as well IMO.

More likely the attachment is for the slim model. They could then use external disc drive for ps6 and others moving forward.

I don't know about Tom, but I have a feeling Kepler knows something.
He's know for leaking GPU/CPU stuff.



I'm wondering if he's hinting at the PS5 Pro codename being Viola?

Ok this is the stuff that makes it breaks it for me. Has he spilled the beans yet. After seeing the 7700/7800 rdna3 timespy leaks I’m expecting everyone to be disappointed tbh. Lol

I had thoughts that the Digital PS5 is already the Slim and a PS5 refresh with 40CU RDNA 3.5 is all we'll get in terms of a Pro.

PS5 with 40 RDNA 3.5 CUs at the same clock of 2.23GHz is 20,55 TF.
Double the PS5's 10.27 TF.

I agree, especially when it comes to PS hardware

Exclusive R&D footage of "Viola" aka PS5 PRO being tested:

Take that Tom Henderson.

Yeah but that’s only because of the dual issue shader support, doesn’t mean it’s 2x faster. In reality per cu uplift is something like 20% in games at best. Look at a 7600 vs a 6600xt. Same CUs. Barely any difference. I would think a pro would need to be a bigger chip, more cus, and maybe a price bump up $100-$200 for it to really feel like an upgrade. If he has info on memory and WGPs that would help estimate if Sony is going for a bigger chip, or just a small efficiency and performance bump without having to raise prices. Another path that maybe makes sense would be doing like you say and staying at 40cu on a more efficient node with rdna 3/3.5 but also adding in some accelerators for some kind of proprietary Sony RT acceleration/DLSS equivalent.

My Strix gl702vs has running everything this gen could have offer, I dont mind getting a ps5 PRO if it actually looks near as a decent pc.
