I’m sure many of our readers will remember the problems the PS4 and PS5 had CMOS stack. This component is essential for the proper functioning of these consoles, as well as the PS5 Pro, as it is responsible for permanently powering the small chip where important data related to the console’s hardware and status is stored.

When this battery runs out, it is necessary to replace it to make our console work normally again, but on PS4 and PS5 there is a problem and access to said component is very complicated because it is too hiddenwhich requires complete disassembly of both consoles.

For example, in the case of the PS5, the battery is in the upper corner of the motherboard, but This is folded upside down, so to replace it you have to disassemble the cooling system and remove the motherboard. A normal user will not be able to do this and will have to resort to a specialized technical service for something as simple as changing the CMOS battery, with the costs involved.

A leaked image that gives us our first glimpse into the guts of Sony’s new console suggests that the Japanese company learned and that replacing the CMO battery in this new console will be much easier since it’s located under the area we see circled in red. We would just have to remove that protective cover, replace the battery and replace the cover.

The PS5 Pro launches on November 7th, but thanks to Digital Foundry having early access to the console, we’ve been able to see it in action in some games. This allowed us to confirm that PSSR is the main draw of this console, and that it ultimately is Nor will it be the revolution that Sony has painted for us when he officially introduced it.

How I imagined ray tracing it will still be very bigso much so that in most cases it will be limited to a specific effect. For example, Alan Wake 2 will only use ray tracing applied to reflections on the PS5 Pro and will run at 30 FPS. We’ll see what it can offer in new games that will be developed from the ground up to take advantage of its greater powers, but If you have a PS5, I don’t think it’s worth it invest almost 800 euros to get a PS5 Pro.
