What's new in the PS5 Pro ?
The PS5 Pro was presented by Mark Cerny, responsible for the PS4, PS Vita and PS5 consoles and an architect at Sony for over 10 years. This designer revealed the new PS5 Pro through an exclusive video of just under 10 minutes to reveal the performance of the console.
La PS5 Pro focuses on three major new features to stand out from previous models:
- A better processor.
- More RAM.
- Artificial intelligence.
These three factors combined allow the PS5 Pro to display smoother images than on older Playstation models, especially for small details at a long distance (such as a setting, clouds or a crowd of people). The addition of these new assets also allows the PS5 Pro to have a fluidity unparalleled since the games unveiled during the presentation were around 60 FPS.
What is the design of the PS5 Pro ?
The PS5 Pro doesn't just stand out for a few performance improvements. The console also has a slightly revised design with small bars on the sides of its paddles.
