This is Sony’s new flagship console and the second major revision to the pandemic-era hardware introduced in 2020. The PS5 Pro is equipped with an AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread processor, complemented by an RDNA-based graphics engine delivering 16.7 teraflops (TF) of GPU performance. This is a big jump up from the base PS5’s 10.23 TF, and should result in smoother gameplay and more detailed visuals.

In addition to the 16GB of GDDR6 memory, the console includes 2GB of DDR5 memory dedicated to non-gaming tasks, ensuring efficient system operations. Storage capacity has been doubled to a 2TB custom SSD, accommodating larger game files and reducing load times. However, these enhancements come with an increased maximum power draw of 390W, up from the 340W of the standard PS5 Digital Edition.
