Sony PlayStation 5 was introduced in November 2020 and announced the PS5 Slim version. Recent leaks suggested the new gaming console will offer improved ‘Ray Tracing’ support.
The Trinity codename
The Sony PlayStation 5 Pro has the codename ‘Trinity’ internally, according to a report by The Verge.
Citing sources familiar with the company’s plans, the report notes that Sony has asked developers to make their games compatible with the PS5 Pro.
“Trinity is a high-end version of PlayStation 5,” reads one of the documents outlining PS5 Pro.
The Japanese company might continue to sell the standard PS5 even after the launch of the PS5 Pro.
PS5 Pro hardware
PlayStation 5 Pro could ship with a more “powerful GPU and a slightly faster CPU mode.” The report notes that Sony expects GPU rendering on the Pro model to be “about 45 percent faster than the standard PS5.
According to the document outlining PS5 Pro, the gaming console will use a “more powerful ray tracing architecture,” with three times the speed compared to the regular PS5.
While the GPU is seeing improvements, the CPU is expected to remain the same as the standard model but with a new mode that offers a higher clock speed: 3.85GHz as per the document for developers. This is around 10 percent more than the regular PS5.
The standard PS5 memory runs at 448GB/s but the PS5 Pro will see a bump up by 28 percent to 576GB/s. Games will now have access to an additional 1.2GB of system memory on the PS5 Pro.
