PS5 Pro Rumored to Deliver Massive Ray Tracing and AI Upscaling Gains

Speculation is mounting around Sony's potential release of a PlayStation 5 Pro, following a series of leaks. The rumored console, reportedly codenamed Trinity, is expected to boast a 45% increase in rendering performance compared to the original PlayStation 5. Notably, the PS5 Pro is rumored to be significantly more capable in ray tracing, with estimates suggesting a two to threefold improvement in speed.

Leaked documents and insider information suggest that the PS5 Pro will be equipped with a custom machine learning architecture, which may deliver up to 300 TOPs of 8-bit computation and an estimated 67 teraflops of 16-bit floating point performance. Additionally, the console is expected to incorporate PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), Sony's new AI upscaling technology, which aims to enhance image quality and support resolutions up to 4K, with future updates possibly extending this to 8K.

Despite the detailed leaks, which also include claims of a custom image upscaling technology and increased GPU performance, Sony has not yet confirmed the existence of the PS5 Pro. The rumored release timeframe is later this year, potentially in September, but without official confirmation, the exact details regarding launch date, price, and availability remain speculative.
