There is news that Sony plans to launch the PlayStation 5 Pro between the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, with a price of up to $700. The new game console will include a brand new AMD SOC , with higher performance, and is positioned as a high-end 4K/8K game field.
In the latest podcast, MLID, the source of the news, said that this week’s Sony PlayStation event may bring some new content, including
● God of War (Game Teaser/Trailer)
● Gran Turismo (Gameplay Trailer)
● Stray (Game Trailer)
● Call of Duty: Vanguard (New Gameplay)
● TLOU: Factions (Rumor)
Several games confirmed, and some surprising disclosures are also expected to appear. But the main leak involves the PlayStation 5 Pro, which will certainly not be part of this year's show, because the console is still far from the market.
It is said that Sony is indeed developing the PlayStation 5 Pro, which will be a higher and higher quality subdivision version of the existing game console. Although the specifications are not stated, it seems that the game console will provide appropriate performance enhancements enough to attract those who are waiting for appropriate generational upgrades on the PS4 Pro or the old PS4 to switch jobs.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro game console is expected to be launched between the end of 2023 and 2024. The price is about 600-700 US dollars, which is about 75% higher than the basic version of PlayStation 5. The basic version of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro is 399 US dollars.The retail price of Slim PS4 is US$299.
The increase in price may be due to the increase in manufacturing costs and what the company has learned from the launch of its PlayStation 4 Pro. In order to profit from the professional version, Sony will have to sell game consoles at a higher price in order to get a return. Otherwise, if the company plans to switch to a new SOC, every unit they sell will be at a loss, and this It seems to be a situation.
Now, the guessing part begins. Some people say that Sony PlayStation 5 Pro may get a new AMDAPU with brand new CPU/GPU IPs. Allegedly, Microsoft plans to update its Xbox series S and X on the 6-nanometer process, while Sony may take the 5-nanometer route and adopt the new RDNA and Zen-based architecture.
MLID speculates that the TDP of this game console will exceed 300W, which makes it a very expensive game console to design and manufacture. In addition, in terms of game performance, the game console may utilize AMD's FSR (FiedelityFX Super Resolution) technology and sell itself as a 4K/8K high-end game console.
