So does this mean 4K60?

Dont even most PCs have trouble maintaining that framerate at those levels constantly

I mean they can do that now at the right graphical fidelity. You not getting top end graphics at that level with stuff like ray tracing on a home console at a reasonable price.

They won’t need a pro model

Thats for us big dikk nikkas @KnickstapeCity

I'm not sure why you'd volunteer to get involved with this particular poster gimmick, breh.

 

[Black Mamba]

First day cop
Might trade in my ps5 for it or just keep it so I can hack it
But Pro is getting coped regardless

I would quit my job if I had to alternate between developing for the PS5 Pro and then back to the Series S

Yikes

that's why it makes no sense like Phil said for them to do a mid gen refresh. Series S(hit) has killed all dat.

I hope so. If we getting 1440/60 and 1440/variable over 60 on PS5 1st party joints, that'll be nuts if we can't get base 4k60. But 4k60 with RT off or limited ray tracing probably is attainable on more intense joints.


Alleged Specs

• Viola is fabbed on TSMC N4P.
• GFX1115
• Viola's CPU is maintaining the zen2 architecture found in the existing PS5 for compatibility, but the frequency will once again be dynamic with a peak of 4.4GHz. 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 shared (4 MB per CCX).
• Viola's die is 30WGPs when fully enabled, but it will only have 28WGPs (56 CUs) enabled for the silicon in retail PS5 Pro units.
• Trinity is the culmination of three key technologies. Fast storage (hardware accelerated compression and decompression, already an existing key PS5 technology), accelerated ray tracing, and upscaling.
• Architecture is RDNA3, but it's taking ray tracing improvements from RDNA4. BVH traversal will be handled by dedicated RT hardware rather than fully relying on the shaders. It will also include thread reordering to reduce data and execution divergence, something akin to Ada Lovelace SER and Intel Arc's TSU.
• 3584 shaders, 224 TMUs, and 96 ROPs.
• 16GB of 18 gbps GDDR6. 256-bit memory bus with 576 GB/s memory bandwidth.
• The GPU frequency target is 2.0 GHz. This lands the dual-issue TFLOPs in the range of 28.67 TFLOPs peak (224 (TMUs) * 2 (operations, dual issue) * 2 (core clock)). 14.33 TFLOPs if we ignore the dual-issue factor.
• 50-60% rasterization uplift over Oberon and Oberon Plus, over twice the raw RT performance.
• XDNA2 NPU will be featured for the purpose of accelerating Sony's bespoke temporal machine learning upscaling technique. This will be one of the core focuses of the PS5 Pro, like we saw with checkboard rendering for the PS4 Pro. Temporally stable upscaled 4K output at higher than 30 FPS is the goal.
• September 2024 reveal

Explain this to me like I'm 5 years old

That's always the move... The old trade you in for a newer model move

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

i hope its super big and ugly, i want a BBW PS5 that you gotta hide when company comes over

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

So a September '24 release date?

Reveal... Not release.. But if they smart and want that Christmas money............

I'll cop for GTAVI but it looks like a long ways away for both.

Ah, so you like whale hunting I see. No wonder we never crossed paths when I'm in the Heights

Already sold my ps5 I can wait for the pro
