New rumors are coming around the specifications PlayStation 5 Pro , including NPU usage. According to the latest rumours, after these leaks, it’s expected to take at most a month for all the details of the console to finally leak out. The reason for this is that it is expected that during the current month of December Sony starts shipping developer kits PlayStation 5 Pro for studios.
Until then, we have a new update regarding the specifications. Specifies the SoC to be used AMD Violaand as previous rumors have indicated, it will be manufactured by TSMC using a manufacturing process N4P (4 nm). The main improvements for this GPU will be in the GPU and the rest of the console’s technology, with the CPU being the one that will see the least improvement.
For now, these will be the specs of the PlayStation 5 Pro: It will come with an NPU
At the processor level – the processor 8 cores under the AMD Zen 2 architecture. They will operate at a dynamic frequency that reaches the Turbo frequency 4.40 GHz. Each core will have access to 64KB of L1 cache, 512KB of L2 cache and 8MB of L3 cache shared by all.
The biggest jump we’ll see is in the GPU, where it’s stated that the graphics chip will have 56 active computing units. This leads to configuration 3,584 stream processors together with 224 TMU and 96 ROP. We have unified RAM in the form 16 GB GDDR6 and 18 Gbps with a 256-bit memory interface that gives us bandwidth 576 GB/s. This GPU can reach a frequency of 2.00 GHz to achieve a performance of 28.67 TFLOPs.
Added to this 50-60% more performance when rasterizing As for the PS5, and more than twice the performance in ray tracing. The reason for this is the use of a graphical architecture RDNA 3but it is shown to have improvements in ray tracing inherited from RDNA 4. Also, new AMD XDNA 2 NPU. A chip designed to accelerate artificial intelligence that will be used to improve scaling techniques. The mission of this technology is to achieve rescaling to 4K resolution aiming at power aim for 60 FPS.
Other known information
Can’t comment on other people’s leaks because I don’t know.
Internally, Sony expects the full specs to leak this month due to the distribution of development among third-party studios. https://t.co/sJ9x4OGjtQ

Finishing with information about the PlayStation 5 Pro, we talk about Trinity Technology. It would be the result of combining three key technologies for the company. We are talking about a high-speed “magic SSD”, as well as hardware ray tracing and rescaling. These specifications appeared on the Resetera forums.
It was on X (Twitter) where they quoted Tom Henderson, the owner of Insider Gaming, telling him what he thought about this leak. He noted that he does not comment on leaks of information from other media, but inside the country Sony expects the specifications of its console to be released this month. Mainly because development kits are already on their way to other studios. So, it seems that all the leaks are already being clarified, so in a couple of weeks we can finally talk about what to expect from this PS5 Pro.
