Tech YouTuber Moore’s Regulation Is Lifeless, who’s been hit-and-miss with leaks previously, uploaded a video on March 14 of paperwork he claimed had been “from inside Sony.”In line with the alleged documentation, the PS5 Professional is codenamed “Trinity” and seems like an actual enchancment over the bottom PS5.
For starters, the leaks declare the PS5 Professional renders efficiency 45 p.c sooner than the bottom console, with ray tracing speeds being two to 4 occasions sooner. It additionally comes with a customized machine-learning structure for one thing known as PlayStation Spectral Tremendous Decision (PSSR).

With the bottom PS5 solely having 10.3 teraflops, this could imply that the PS5 Professional steals the Collection X’s title because the “world’s strongest console.” Which I assume is cool.
