This coming out earlier makes me believe it was asked by gaming devs because they are having a hard time maintaing 60 fps.

If Mark Cerny is designing this one, I'm pretty sure it will have features that make it perform much better than whatever its final specs will suggest. Everyone underestimated/downplayed the base PS5 as well.
Bryan, shouldn’t you be hating this on general principle, since Jim Ryan greenlit it?
It's the kind of thing that is like VRS... Always disappointing in reality.
Looks like smooth brained internet posters are still obsessing over "60 FpS" and "rAy tRacing" meaning any gains will probably be wasted on stuff we can barely tell the difference in. The constant push for high frame rates and ray tracing are antithetical to graphics development. See Spiderman 2 looking the same or worse than miles morales because of ray tracing in all modes.
They don't need to add more ram to get more bandwidth just faster ram and we know the ram in the Pro will be faster. Speed is increasing from 14Gpbs to 18, I prefer this as it's more cost effective. Sounds like the GPU will be a slightly under clocked AMD 7800xt which is a 37tf 16gb ram card with ram speed running at 19.5Gpbs and clocked to just over 2.4Mhz. The GPU in the Pro will only be 1.5Gpbs slower, same 16gb and I'm sure the Mhz will be a bit faster then base PS5. Pro could end up with nearly 30tf gpu based on known specs.
Spider-Man 2 does not have worse graphics than Miles Morales. Not sure what you're smoking.
It for damn sure doesn't look better. designing games to have 60fps performance modes in mind is holding back graphics. I'm also not the only person on the internet who noticed SM2 is visually inconsistent in ways that miles morales never was.
But i'm excited because if the rumors are true that this comes with special RT/Upscaling secret sauce then maybe it won't have a to be a sacrifice anymore of ray tracing or rasterization.
agreed 100%. A lot of these leaks don't make sense, but the 2ghz target really stood out to me. This simply does not make sense for a number of reasons:
-back compat
-node shrink means you're getting faster clocks at the same efficiency - n4p easily hits 2.5ghz; there's no reason to reduce the power target of the pro - if anything it should expand ~50w. 2.4ghz+ is more realistic
-only 30% more memory bandwidth and no increase in VRAM despite a heavy emphasis on RT
It looks much improved. You don't know what you're talking about.
Yeap but I'm talking about the amount of the RAM and not the speed.
Not only for the games for the OS too... a bit more RAM is always good.
But seems like it was fake specs... so move on
the funniest thing is the 30fps purists who then have to add motion blur to make the game not look dogshit, but in turn motion blur makes the game look dogshit and the extra res does nothing.
That is more interesting...
It gives 15.3TFs at 2Ghz.
If they can use a higher clock (I'm sure they will... for compatibility alone they need to be higher than the PS5 clocks) it can reach some good numbers.
Using at least PS5 GPU clocks.
2.33Ghz = 17.9TFs
That gives near 2x the GPU raw power of PS5 without counting the others improviments.
Yea, that's the real story.. but it makes sense. It's not going to be a generation ahead of the PS5. Very interesting that they mention hardware RT acceleration. Many people were saying that the PS5/XSX had hardware ray tracing when it didn't have what Nvidia had. It now finally has what Nvidia has designed a long time ago.
PS5 Pro could be weaker than Ps5, I am still buying Day 1
If mid-gen is a new pattern, I'll skip out on initial generation hardware and wait 4yrs for mid-gen.
