The PlayStation 5 Pro arrives November 7, 2024, pushing console graphics with AMD’s Zen 2 CPU and RDNA GPU, delivering 16.7 teraflops – a 63% increase over the base PS5’s 10.23 teraflops.
Raw Specs from Digital Foundry’s Manual Analysis:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen Zen 2 (8-core/16-thread)
- GPU: RDNA-based, 16.7 teraflops compute performance (up from PS5’s 10.23TF)
- Memory: 16GB GDDR6 VRAM + 2GB DDR5 (system operations)
- Storage: 2TB custom SSD
- Power Draw: 390W max (vs PS5’s 340W)
- Weight: 3.1kg (original PS5: 3.9kg)
- Rendering: 45% boost over base PS5
The 16GB GDDR6 + 2GB DDR5 split config enables PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling and better ray tracing. Digital Foundry’s manual confirms the hardware specs – seeing actual numbers backing up the performance claims is excellent!
System architect Mark Cerny dropped the technical details in September, breaking down how the enhanced GPU compute enables next-gen ray tracing while maintaining those buttery-smooth frame rates we’re all after.

Tech nerds take note: Early Digital Foundry testing shows the PS5 Pro delivering consistent 60fps with ray tracing in supported games. That beefy 390W power supply isn’t just for show; it will only sometimes draw maximum power. About those March leaks – initial docs showed higher TF numbers, but that was before AMD’s RDNA architecture changes. The final 16.7TF figure is official per the review unit manual.
The split memory setup is particularly clever – keeping that 2GB DDR5 busy with system tasks lets the full 16GB GDDR6 focus on pushing pixels. Plus, the whole unit weighs less than the original despite the power bump. Engineering wizardry at work!
Launched on November 7th with those 55 enhanced titles, price is $699.
