The PlayStation 5 Pro’s debut coincides with PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. It sports a revamped design sans optical drive and a significant GPU upgrade alongside memory improvements.
Despite the tech advancements since the original PS5’s launch in 2020, Sony opts to retain the Zen 2 CPU architecture for the PS5 Pro, aiming to balance backward compatibility and cost-efficiency. Although the CPU remains unchanged, speculation suggests a potential process shrink from the original PS5’s 7nm to a more advanced TSMC process, possibly enhancing power efficiency and allowing higher CPU clock speeds, albeit without concrete details from Sony.
