PS5 Pro’s actual specs revealed

Ahead of the PS5 Pro launch later this week, we have confirmation of a few more official specifications for the most powerful version of the PS5 yet. Digital Foundry has shared details from the manual included with its PS5 Pro review unit, confirming the console is powered by an AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread processor with an RDNA-based graphics engine producing 16.7TF of GPU compute performance compared to the base PS5’s 10.23TF.

As we noted in March, initial leaked documents showed a much higher figure for the PS5 Pro, mostly due to a change in AMD’s RDNA architecture.

The manual also reveals that in addition to 16GB of GDDR6 memory, the PS5 Pro will have 2GB of slower DDR5 memory for handling console tasks not related to gaming, plus a 2TB custom SSD. At 390W, its maximum power draw will also be more than the 340W used by the slim and regular versions of the PS5 Digital Edition, but the console won’t be drawing that much power at all times.

In a post shared to the official PlayStation blog today, Sony also revealed a list of 55 games that will have PS5 Pro enhancements when the $699.99 console launches on November 7th. The list includes several titles already revealed to be getting updates but adds several others, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Star Wars: Outlaws.
