 The mid-generation upgrade for the PS5 could be up to twice as powerful as the current model, and devs have already been shown demos. There have been more rumours about PlayStation hardware than there have been games recently, from Project Q and PS5 Slim, to the PlayStation 6 and PS5 Pro. Surprisingly, of those four consoles it's the PS5 Pro that there's been the least amount of information on, even though the likes of Take-Two have said that it, and an Xbox equivalent, will 'probably' happen. Sony hasn't commented one way or the other, but a new rumour suggests that the PS5 Pro has the codename of Trinity (with the main chip codenamed Viola) and is aiming for a November 2024 release date – with developers getting devkits by at least this autumn. Supposedly, the PS5 Pro has been in development since early last year, with demonstrations for developers currently going on this summer. Sony's own internal studios would be first in line and by the sounds of it will already have devkits (the modified versions of the console used to develop games for it). The console will apparently have 30 WGP (work group processors) and be capable of 18,000 MT/s (mega transfers per second) for memory. Both of those are obscure units of measurements, but since one workgroup processor equals two compute cycles, that would mean 60 compute units for the GPU. The current PlayStation 5 model only has 36, so the PS5 Pro could be close to twice as fast. The information comes from reliable leaker Tom Henderson, who admits to not being a technical expert, but claims the console is aiming to provide 'consistent FPS and at 4K' and a new performance mode for 8K resolution and 'accelerated ray-tracing.' A reliable 60fps is not mentioned specifically, but presumably that's the intention. 8K not only requires a special television but without one of considerable size the difference to the naked eye will be negligibl){kind=link}
