The image detailing the PlayStation 5 Pro’s specifications was found to be in Portuguese; however, we utilized Google Lens for translation to present the information in English. Below is a comprehensive overview of the leaked specs:

Main Processor: Custom single-chip processor featuring an AMD Ryzen Zen 2 CPU (8 cores/16 threads) and a GPU with an AMD RDNA graphics engine yielding 16.7 TFLOPS.
Memory: GDDR6 with 16 GB and DDR5 with 2 GB.
Storage: Custom 2 TB SSD.
Input/Output: Two USB Type-A ports (SuperSpeed USB – 10 Gbps), one USB Type-C port (Hi-speed USB), one USB Type-C port (SuperSpeed USB – 10 Gbps), M.2 SSD expansion connector (Key M), and a hard drive disk port.
Network Connectivity: Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T), IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be, and Bluetooth 5.1.
Audio/Video Output: HDMI out port.
Power Requirements: 100-240V ~4.2-1.7A, 50/60 Hz.
Maximum Rated Power: 320W.
External Dimensions: Approximately 388 x 89 x 216 mm (width x height x depth).
Weight: About 3.1 kg.
Operating Temperature: Ranges from 5°C to 35°C.

Overall, these leaked specifications align with trends observed in earlier rumors. Nevertheless, the continuation of the Zen 2 CPU marks a missed opportunity, as the gaming industry has already seen the advent of the more powerful Zen 5 chips with the Ryzen 9000 series. Sticking with an older eight-core processor means the PS5 Pro might fall short in both single-core performance and efficiency, compared to its PC counterparts.

The true highlight of the PlayStation 5 Pro is its substantial graphical performance upgrade. With a GPU capable of delivering 16.7 TFLOPS, this new console promises a significant boost over the PlayStation 5, which was limited to 10 TFLOPS. The practical impact of this enhancement on 4K gaming experiences will become evident post-launch.

In addition to the GPU improvements, the PS5 Pro is reportedly set to feature increased memory, totaling 18 GB compared to the previous 16 GB of combined memory in the former model. However, with a rated power draw of 390W, it also indicates a move towards a more power-intensive setup.

Many specifications, such as the 2 TB SSD and enhanced I/O capabilities, have garnered formal confirmation from Sony. Collectively, the PlayStation 5 Pro is poised to establish itself as a powerhouse for 4K gaming. Nonetheless, it will be most appealing to those prioritizing higher frame rates in their gaming experience.
