The alleged official document shows that the upgraded console has 2G of DDR5 RAM on top of the 16GB GDDR6 RAM. The PlayStation 5 also seems to sport a 45% faster GPU compared to the base console, The Shortcut said.
Significant Improvements Over Its Predecessor
The significantly powered up hardware of the new console could make 8K PS5 Pro games, Ps5 ray-tracking games, and PS5 120fps games the standard when it launches.
The console's 2GB of additional RAM could become a significantly useful upgrade for video game developers.
This is because it could lead to a better gaming experience on the PlayStation 5 Pro for players in the long run. Many people believe that the extra 2GB of RAM will be focused on providing for the operating system and PlayStation DualSense controller overhead.
On top of the general hardware specification improvements, the teardown video also showed that Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro console received major repairability improvements. This grants easier access to the unit's CMOS battery.
This lets users much more easily swap it out and make sure that the upgraded console will still function normally in the event that the original battery runs its course or becomes defective, according to WCCFTech.
