The PlayStation 5 Pro continues to be one of the internet's worst-kept secrets. It's all but confirmed at this point. The only questions now are: when is the console coming out, is it substantially more powerful than the PS5, and how much is its price? But the latest buzz on the internet suggests an answer to at least one of these questions.
According to the most recent rumors, sourced from Moore's Law Is Dead, the PS5 Pro's teraflop count will jump from 10.28 to 33.5 - a 3x jump. This may translate to potentially smoother gameplay, sharper visuals, and groundbreaking features such as advanced ray tracing. Simply put, the PS5 Pro is going to make PS5 games look several times better when it comes out.
But while it would be a dream come true for most of us to have access to a console that may be as powerful as a decent PC set-up at a reasonable price point, we might have to exercise a healthy dose of skepticism first before we start saving up money to pre-order the PS5 Pro the moment is announced.
For starters, just because the teraflop count has tripled, this doesn't mean performance will improve as much. Not to mention, a 4X improvement under ideal conditions, or as the source refers to it, "in some cases", sounds a lot like something straight out every fanboy's dream; it isn't just going to happen.
