In a brand new DF Direct Special we find Alex, Rich and Oliver confirming the leaked technical specifications for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro console, we talk you through what the various spec points mean in terms of the gameplay experience, we go deep on ray tracing and machine learning-based upscaling and we reveal some new information about the new console based on recent developer disclosures.
NOTE: ROG Ally actually uses Zen 4 architecture - not Zen 3 - which makes the point about the lack of perceivable improvement over Steam Deck's Zen 2 even more pertinent.

I'm not sure why they are obsessed with the CPU when the main thing here is the PSSR. Games already run at 60. Combining a faster GPU with upscaling should get us 4k 60 FPS. It seems so obvious. I don't know why they are downplaying this.

spot on. PS4Pro sales wasnt mark to make, it sold over 10million units but overwhelming playerbase was still PS4 and thus games were designed with that in mind. It is like console betatest before PS6 so 100 different bugs dont come as surprise when they launch with 20million expensive new consoles and people queue for that and journos nitpick it and every tiny 0.1% problem gets exploded in media. So with these in mind, PS5 Pro is very useful midpoint milestone, also for ps5/6 developers viewpoint to know what is coming.

I don't remember any actual marketing stating 4K 60fps as a guarantee. The marketing revolved around improved frame rates but never directly stated that 4K 60 simultaneously was the norm. In terms of improved frame rates, the consoles have meet that. The PS4 and Xbox one were stuck at 30fps. Everything on the PS5 box is on there because the system is capable of outputting it. That does not mean it can do all those things simultaneously. It's the same for TV's and other electronic products.

@someguy9204 3 ай бұрын

@Eternalduoae 3 ай бұрын

For the hardware side of things I believe that the specs are a little different. We're looking at 56 compute units which, for 33.5 FP32 TFLOPS would mean 2.337 GHz (slightly above base PS5). The other reason we know that it's 56 CU is because both of backward compatibility and process yield. Disabling DCUs is normal to allow use of slightly defective dies. Additionally, by disabling one shader engine, you get 1:1 cu compatibility with ps5/4. Also, power for the rdna 3 is improved compared to rdna2. So, a similar cu die should only use around 70% if using rdna3 instead of rdna2.

Honestly, this is one of those systems where I would likely pick one up if money wasn't a concern and/or I didn't already own a PS5 BUT since I do already own a PS5 I can't see myself picking up a possible $600 console when I'm still paying off my new PC that simply dwarfs the capabilities of even this PS5 Pro. That being said, if my finances turn around in the future, the console possibly gets cheaper, AND Sony produces even more exclusive titles that I want to play with boosted performance/visuals then it's not impossible that I'll pick one up in the future but right now it's just a really hard investment to buy into.

Which surprises me on the cpu side, because if the PC is any indicator, pushing ray tracing harder usually pushes the cpu harder. Considering the cpu is already a bottleneck on the PS5, you really have to wonder what help a modest upgrade to the cpu side is going to do if developers push ray tracing harder, which hammers the cpu much harder on the PC. The cpu could become a major bottleneck, more than it already is on the PS5, but there is a silver lining that might work, that AMD workgroup thing that's they've been talking about recently, by shifting more of the workload onto the gpu, so freeing the cpu up, that could allow much better performance and the cpu becomes far less of a bottleneck, the problem is from what I understand of it, games would have to take advantage of it to gain that performance, so existing games, unless they are patched up, won't benefit that much unless they are patched up, which is probably unlikely with most existing games because of how much of a rewrite of the code would be needed, but future games will likely take advantage of that. We'll have to see more on the PC side to see how much of a performance improvement it offers, so far we only have 1 demo from AMD that offers a big improvement, if that translates into real world games, that will be a big deal in areas where the cpu is bottlenecked, which I think on the PS5 pro will be far more of an issue if they push ray tracing hard.

I was considering the thought process on the repeat use of Zen 2 as the basis for PS5 "Professional's" CPU. In your preliminary analysis, it is suggested that Zen 2 is being retained to maintain compatibility. From my knowledge of the desktop architecture, there have been no instruction set or feature cuts between Zen 2 and Zen 3 (not sure about Zen 4). As such, I believe the decision is likely more related to business operations. Specifically, there is likely a surplus of Zen 2 chips that Sony was able to acquire for a reasonable cost compared with moving to Zen 3 or Zen 4. Their engineering and budget teams likely came to the decision that GPU architecture needed more of the budget. This would also have the potential benefit of keeping costs at an acceptable level for the targeted market. If anything, I would guess that a major GPU architectural upgrade would cause more potential compatibility issues than a move from Zen 2 to Zen 4. I'm guessing the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze. Seems like AI, improved memory bandwidth, and a huge upgrade to GPU compute are the things Sony is betting more on.

@@Lock2002fulBecause they have set themselves this goal from the start of it operating within 200W TDP for different reasons such as energy efficiency and such. So they have to stick to this TDP and make everything work within in. The reason the PS4 Pro was able to increase clockspeed more percentage wise, was because they went to a different manufacturing process, while this does not appear to be the case for the PS5/PS5 Pro.

Day 1. PSSR sounds fascinating, and having so much more compute performance to work with on top of it could end up with some very clean image quality for the 2nd half of the generation.

If they would’ve gone with Nvidia they wouldn’t need to develop pisser. This is just Sony admitting that FSR is garbage.

60 cus and that bandwith, i think that it will be a little bit slower or kinda in the same bull park of performance of a rx 7800xt

@Wobbothe3rd 3 ай бұрын

7700xt almost exactly by the tflop count. Its funny how much people want to believe 7800xt. Look at the power draw. No way any console on RDNA3 is hitting 7800xt

@@Wobbothe3rd Does 7700xt has that ai block? No. Pssr is good advantage over pc amd cards. Also ray-tracing is based on rdna4 tech.

Thank you for being realistic on what node the Pro model might be on. I've seen a few speculative videos with so called 'leaks' that say the APU will use TSMC 5 or 4nm node. That process node is still quite expensive and learning from history, the PS4 slim and Pro model was on the same 16nm node. Now that the PS5 slim has been released with a 6nm node shrink, it's safe to assume that the Pro model might also be on 6nm and the rest of the specs here seems much more grounded. With all of that being said, I have to agree with Oliver, that the higher projected boost clock speeds on the CPU, from the Pro model compared to the base is quite disappointing.
