With the launch of the new PS5 pro-PlayStation, we are launching a comparison drive i.e. PS5 Pro vs PS5. The PS5 Pro is a more powerful iteration of the PlayStation 5, which debuted in 2020, Sony has revealed. Sony claims that starting on November 7, the new PlayStation 5 Pro will be sold in several locations.
But the Sony PS5 Pro costs $700 (about Rs 58,800), which is a lot more than the original PlayStation 5, which was first released in India for $500, or Rs 50,000.
What Sets the PS5 Pro Apart from the PS5?
The Sony PS5 Pro’s width is comparable to the current PS5 model, but its height is the same as that of the original PlayStation 5. The three grills in the middle of the new PS5 Pro give it a unique appearance even if its design is similar to the original. On the other hand, the entire design concept is reminiscent of the PlayStation 5.
Enhanced Graphics Performance
GPU performance has improved the most since the PS5’s original release. Sony claims that compared to the PS5, the PS5 Pro has 67% more compute units. Based on some fast calculations, the new graphics card appears to have sixty compute units. The 64 streaming multiprocessors found in RDNA 2 CUs indicate that the new card has 3,840 SMs in total.
As to IGN India, this is a noteworthy rise in silicon and has the potential to match the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 6800, a GPU renowned for its 4K gaming prowess, on PCs. This is also not surprising, since the PS5 Pro is designed to run games in 4K at 60 frames per second without any lag.
Furthermore, an improvement in the PS5 Pro’s ray tracing performance is anticipated. Compared to the regular PS5, the PS5 Pro’s improved ray tracing capabilities will produce reflections that are more lifelike and realistic. Mark Cerny, the head of PlayStation, claims that the additional GPU capacity in the PS5 Pro would not force customers to pick between framerates and quality.
AI Scaling to the Max
AI upscaling is a revolutionary function that is exclusive to the PS5 Pro and not available on the PS5 standard. This technology, which is frequently utilized in PC games, improves sharpness and fills in missing features in images by applying machine learning.
Given that upscaling technology was still in its infancy at the time of the original PS5’s release, this enormous advancement is all the more remarkable. Sony’s choice to include AI-based upscaling in the PS5 Pro is in line with their dedication to delivering cutting-edge gaming experiences, given the feature’s shown success on PC platforms.
Small Updates
We may presume that the CPU on the PS5 Pro is the same as the one on the PlayStation 5 because Cerny didn’t spend any time discussing it. The PS5 Pro will also have the same 16GB of RAM as the original PS5, but it will also have 2TB of storage, which is more than twice as much as the PS5.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that the PS5 Pro would use the same premium SSD as the PS5. Sony did, however, reveal that the PS5 Pro has 28% quicker memory because of the new GPU’s enhanced memory interface. Finally, the PS5 Pro can now connect to Wi-Fi 7, whereas the PS5 can only connect to Wi-Fi 6.
Our Opinions on the PlayStation 5 Pro vs. PlayStation 5
Without a doubt, in the battle of PS5 Pro vs PS5, the PlayStation 5 Pro is a more capable system than the standard PS5. Running the newest AAA games will definitely result in improved visuals and frame rates thanks to the significant GPU increase. On the PS5 Pro, the advancements in AI upscaling and ray tracing are especially noteworthy.
It is important to keep in mind, though, that the PS5 Pro comes with a high price tag—more than $200 more than the original model and around $300 less than the PS5 Digital Edition. And these figures only apply to the United States.
The price tag for a game system in India may be closer to Rs 70,000, which is astronomically high. Its viability is further called into question by the fact that the PS5 Pro is still constructed using the same architecture as the PS5. We’ll simply have to wait and give it a try!
