A video titled “Moore's Law Is Dead” has focused on the potential price of Sony's PS5 Pro, based on a recent alleged specs leak. According to the PS5 Pro's rumored specs, the console will still feature a custom Zen 2 processor, which is the same architecture used for the original PlayStation 5. Moderator Tom believes Sony has kept this Zen generation to simplify backwards compatibility and keep costs down for the company while also devoting more resources to developing the PS6.
However, the PS5 Pro chip would still be an improvement over the PS5 Slim chip, with higher clocks and a reduction in chip size (from 6nm to 4nm), as well as the presence of an improved neural processing unit. , the PS5 should give Pro the performance edge it needs to entice PS5 owners and gamers in general to buy it. Since costs in other areas such as RAM, cooling, motherboard, etc. are expected to remain similar or even lower than current costs, Sony may just need to factor in the additional funds required for the best processor.
Tom expects to spend an additional $30 to $40 on materials, so he can predict a price of $500 for the PS5 Pro without a disc drive, although he said the price for the PS5 Pro is “easily $600 or less.” “could be. The current digital PS5 Slim costs $449.99, so $500 for a digital PS5 Pro represents an increase of just over 11%. If the PS5 Pro with disc drive sold for $600, that would be a 20% increase over the asking price of $499.99 for the PS5 Slim with disc drive (available on Amazon with many purchasing options).
The above prices actually represent a bargain for the PlayStation 5 Pro, with the channel host suggesting that if the latest specs hold true, the updated model could see a “minimum increase of $30.” %. In fact, that 30% figure might even be quite conservative, because if the PS5 Pro can run a game that was previously limited to 40fps on the PS5 at 60fps, as the clip suggests, that would be a 50% improvement. For developers, updating games to the Pro model shouldn't be too difficult, with 60fps and 120fps refresh rates becoming the norm.
