The PS5 Pro will have a Zen 2 CPU at 3.85 GHz, an operating frequency that puts it only 385 MHz above the PS5, which equates to a 10% improvement. This is a very modest jump that will not make a major difference in terms of performance, and indeed if confirmed It would be less than the one that comes with the PS4 Prothe console featured a 2.1GHz CPU, which is 500MHz more than the PS4’s CPU.

Sony may have decided on such a limited increase in operating frequencies leave the maximum possible reserve on the GPUactually that’s what makes the most sense right now but a relatively well-known source assures that it could also be related to future backwards compatibility with the PS6, a console that is still several years away but will theoretically Backwards compatible with PS5 and PS5 Pro.

The explanation is very simple, so Sony can maintain full backwards compatibility with its future generations of consoles. Your CPU and GPU must run at least at the same frequency, they cannot work at a lower speed. If Sony increases the PS5 Pro’s CPU speed above 4GHz, it may have problems implementing backwards compatibility on the PS6, as that console will likely have A Zen 6 CPU that may not be able to go over 4GHz.

This backward compatibility level requirement It’s completely trueso it is very reasonable to think that Sony was able to limit this frequency increase in the CPU of the PS5 Pro in order not to risk the future launch of the PS6 and in general to reduce the possible complications that may arise when implementing compatibility between this and the games of the current generation of consoles.

We still don’t have official or completely reliable information, but the PS6 rumors and leaks that have been coming out for the past few months suggest that this console will use AMD APU againwhich means that the CPU and GPU will continue to be integrated in the same package, which could double the amount of unified memory of the current generation, and that it will be available in two large versions, one with an optical drive and the other without said unit.
