Last year there were all sorts of rumors and leaks about the Playstation 5 Pro, codenamed Trinity, which is expected for the end of 2024. Now the YouTuber has Moore’s Law Is Dead Provides insights into a technical documentwhich shows how much the processing power of the as yet unreleased game console is expected to increase compared to its predecessor.

Rendering on the new console should be 45 percent faster than on a Playstation 5. In addition, the document promises twice to three times the ray tracing performance – in some cases this should even increase by a factor of 4.
According to Moore’s Law Is Dead, the Playstation 5 Pro’s AI accelerator is said to deliver a computing power of 300 tops for 8-bit integer calculations. Regarding the 16-bit floating point calculations, a performance of 67 Tflops is quoted, which corresponds to 33.5 Tflops for FP32 calculations. For comparison: The current PS5’s GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA 2, delivers less than a third of this computing power at 10.3 Tflops.
With PSSR to higher resolutions
In addition to the performance data mentioned, the document also mentions Playstation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). This is a TAAU (Temporal Anti Aliasing Upsampling) technology developed by Sony and optimized through machine learning, which is intended to help the console handle higher resolutions up to 8K in a similar way to Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR.
Tom Henderson from Meanwhile, Insider Gaming has confirmed, that the leaked document is real. He learned this from sources who wanted to remain anonymous. Henderson himself also received the documents, but only on the condition that he not pass them on. The document comes from a Playstation developer portal and was made available to a larger group of developers this week.
Henderson further confirms that devkits for the PS5 Pro have been available since September 2023. At the beginning, these were probably only intended for first-party studios, but since January 2024 they have also been intended for third-party developers. From spring 2024, test kits that match the final product will also be available. The Playstation 5 Pro is still expected for the end of 2024.
