PlayStation 5 Pro Zen 2 CPU Will Be Denser Than Base Model’s; Spectral Super Resolution Is Not a Fork of FSR 4

Despite claims that the PlayStation 5 Pro CPU only offers minimal improvements compared to the base model, it may actually provide more enhancements than initially expected.

In a recent video shared by Moore’s Law is Dead, the popular leaker provided some new updates on the yet-to-be-revealed mid-generation refresh console. Along with discussing the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler, the leaker also revealed that the console’s Zen 2 CPU will be a 4nm CPU. This means that the processor will be denser, potentially offering additional improvements such as reduced power consumption, better cost efficiency, and a smaller form factor compared to the base model. It is speculated that the system could also be smaller than the base model and the “Slim”revision released last year. In terms of pricing

As previously stated, the individual responsible for the leak also shared fresh details about the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscale, which is set to launch with the PlayStation 5 Pro. According to reports, PSSR is an original development by Sony and is not based on the upcoming AMD FSR 4 upscaler. It will be intriguing to see if PSSR proves to be a superior solution to AMD’s upscaler, particularly on consoles where NVIDIA’s DLSS is not an option.
