The PlayStation 5 Pro is reported to be powered by a Zen 2 CPU, which is the most appropriate for the device, according to fairly fascinating research.
PS5 Pro Spec Analysis: Choosing the Right CPU Architecture for Optimal Performance and Cost
LeviathanGamer examined the alleged specifications of the new system on X/Twitter, looking over both the CPU and GPU. According to the analysis, a CPU with the same architecture as the base PS5 CPU makes the most sense, as the Zen 3 architecture provides a 16% performance increase but with an increase in die size, which would be a problem for an APU, raising manufacturing costs and potentially not providing any true performance benefit for a system that cannot disable CPU cores.
It would be the same with a Zen 4 CPU, as the increased die size would cause identical concerns. A Zen 4c CPU would likewise be unsuitable for the PlayStation 5 Pro, since its lower chip size would require costly modifications to make its 16-core configuration work with an 8-core processor.
All of the performance gains delivered by these newer architectures would likewise be insignificant for CPU-bound games, making a Zen 2 CPU the most reasonable choice for the system.
PS5 Pro Production Costs: Assessing the Impact of GPU Choices and Process Nodes on Pricing
LeviathanGamer also discussed the prospective PlayStation 5 Pro GPU, stating that both an RDNA2 and RDNA3-based GPU might result in either an increase or decrease in die size while having no major influence on manufacturing costs, as per WCCFTech.
The process node is the one factor that might considerably affect the overall production cost of the APU. If it is manufactured on a 6nm process node, the production costs might be $60–80 more than existing versions.
It would also be the most cost-effective, considering that the base model is already manufactured on a 6nm node, although there may be some difficulties with power and heat generation since the PS5 Pro would demand 50W more than the base model if the reported specs are correct. As a result, with a Zen 2 CPU and a 6nm production node, the next console should cost roughly $100 more than the PS5 smaller revision, which is a reasonable price.
Sony has yet to confirm the PlayStation 5 Pro. So, stay tuned for the latest news and updates!
