It is claimed Sony is aiming to release the PS5 Pro in Holiday 2024, but that could be changed due to the lack of first-party games from PlayStation this year.

lol "Hey should we maybe make some games before we release a new console?"

I dont see a reason for this one. We've maybe a few months of games that stopped being made for both ps4 & ps5. The ps4 pro had more compelling reasons to buy it, and devs did essentially nothing with it.

Yeah like a more powerful system is cool and all, but I've had no issues with my PS5 & barring it breaking *knocks on wood*, upgrading makes no sense.

If your SSDs were that much better, you'd have a well-established competitive presence in said market.

Around launch Sony was trying to further differentiate themselves from Microsoft and one of their claims was that they had a special proprietary variant of an SSD that had I/O speeds significantly faster than the SSD in the series x. They were going hard on promising a future where load screens were completely abolished, which is in retrospect hilarious because pretty much every game I play on the PS5 has some kind of load screen.

So its just more powerful GPU with AI acceleration/ray tracing embedded and FSR/DSS tech? Meh. I dont think this generation needs a hardware upgrade as much as ps4 and xbox one did. PS5 was ruined by scalpers , and being slowed by AAA industry.

Edit: After rereading the specs its basically between 7700-7600. Normal PC would have a cpu bootleneck with upgrading the gpu, but sony consoles arent like regular pcs.

Yep. FLOPS in this context stands for "FLoating point OPeration per Second". Kilo, mega, giga, tera are just the usual prefixes. In practice I don't think I've heard anything lower than megaflops actually used.

People said the same thing about the portal, and that turned out being the complete opposite. (About it being dead on arrival and no one caring I mean).

There will always be those who wouldn't mind paying for a smoother console experience even if only a handful of games like FF16 would take advantage of it.

I'll probably consider getting a PS5 pro, but more than likely not at release. I got a PS4 pro a little over 5 months after it first released just so something like nioh 1 did not look like dog-water when playing in performance mode and I never regretted it (that, and there was a trade-up promo gamestop deal going towards it for around 200 dollars at the time I decided to go for it), so when it comes to a PS5 pro it all depends on how many more forced ray-tracing games that craps on performance like with FF16 we'd be getting from mid 2024 on up).

Floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) is a measure of a computer's performance based on the number of floating-point arithmetic calculations that the processor can perform within a second.

There's so much previous Gen crossover, I'd say mostly as a result of the launch period being scalped heavily, that I can't reasonably tell you what is or isn't an exclusive that isn't from like the past 365 days <_<

Yeah the previous gen crossover is what really crippled this gen in my opinion. Stuff is still releasing for the PS4 and yet theyre releasing a PS5 pro as if the base PS5 has been pushed to its limits lmao

Any CPU that isn't in the megaflop range probably can't do native floating point operations, so it's not a helpful measure for them.

Mark Cerny was huffing his own farts, but he isn't wrong. The PCIe bandwidth throughput needed a very fast SSD to be able to do the render and compute times according to what Sony wanted on the PS5. It uses PCIe gen 4, and required a minimum of 5600MB/s read. There were hacky workarounds to get lower spec drives to work, but it was suboptimal. The best thing Sony did was not require you to have proprietary SSDs like the Xbox Series X. You can put any M.2 NVMe in your PS5 as long as you had the theoretical read write speeds it requires.
