Article was paywalled for me, so for those who don't have ublock origin element blocker, cliffs:
- New report about PS5 pro/PS6 came out recently
- PS5 is roughly halfway through its life cycle, which would put PS6 release in 2028 or at the earliest 2027; looks like ScramFranklin was right
- Sony is in talks with both AMD and Intel deciding who will provide the chips. It's believed that Sony and Intel couldn't agree on pricing and profit sharing, but an Intel rep has denied those claims
- Sony wants PS6 to be backwards compatible, so AMD would be the better choice for that since both PS4 and PS5 run on AMD.
- PS5 pro will launch November 7 and offer 3 areas of improvement: bigger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI driven upscaling.
- GPU of PS5 pro will provide up to 45% faster rendering thanks to 67% more compute units and 28% faster memory
- "Advanced ray tracing" will provide more dynamic reflection and refraction of light, which allows rays to be cast at double and sometimes triple the speed of current PS5
- AI upscaling intended to provide super sharp image clarity and high levels of detail
