PS5Pro Rumored GPUClock Regression Invalidates Leaks,As It Would Cause Backward Compatibility Issue

The PlayStation 5 Pro specs that were leaked a couple of days back may not entirely be accurate, as some of them would create some rather serious issues.

This author realizes there are two sets of rumored leaks for creditable leakers right?

[Ironmike]

One of the leaders is not credible don't about other one, it be like the ps4 pro wish I happy with

[Shikoku]

The YouTuber I watched is creditable and so is the guy on Twitter. I'd don't know of anyone else leaking stuff.

The answer is that the test data that the leaker has or viewed doesn't reflect a chip running a full clocks. Thats all. this happened in the past. Remember when the PS5 chip was discovered but it was running at something like 9TFs BECAUSE it was a test bench and not running at full clocks.

Really all you have to do is listen to RED. It is explained in a lot of detailed on their channel. Actually chip should be between 2.5 and 2.8 Ghz.

Those running around here claiming 14TFs are clearly wrong. There are 60CUs. The very floor of possible performance has to be near 2x the PS5 without taking anything else into account. It is AT LEAST 19TFs without the rumored clock boosts or Dual Issue 32 bit instructions.

With the rumored extras thats how you are getting close to the 30TFs area. But you shouldn't expect that. You should only expect 19TFs according to information we already have.

Oh right, maybe it's not the final clock rate, still seems fishy. Why test at a speed that would break current code?

[Tapani]

Regardless, it is still a smaller upgrade than PS4 --> PS4 Pro. I'm not really sure we need a PS5 Pro, but I guess if you want to run UE5 titles at 30 fps you would need it. 60fps could work, not sure if the CPU is up for the task when RT effects are running etc.

[Babadook7]

I think he's right about how challenging it would be to make pro patches for upcoming games, The clock rate cannot be lower than base spec.

Edit: I think both leaks called for a lower clock rate. So both should be considered baseless at this point.

[Extermin8or3_]

I'm unconvinced not because I think this guy doesn't know what he's generally talking about but because he may be forgetting that in the case of the ps5 it has variable clock rates. The max the gpu can run at isn't typically what it will be running at. Pretty sure the series s and x have slightly different clock speeds aswell. My point is, if the clock speeds change moment to moment anyway because it is variable and based on power profiles as cerny explained in his gdc presentation, I'm unconvinced that having a slightly lower cap on the max gpu clock speed would have a significant effect. Even if I'm wrong and it does it just means the leaders haven't seen finalised specs, which they themselves acknowledge repeatedly.

[Shikoku]

So looks like the leakers I watch were right and so was I. 😘

[mkis007]

This was already said in the more believable leak.

[Sonic1881]

It will still be the most powerful console out there and performance mode will look the best on it

[Snookies12]

Probably just going to stick with picking up the slim. I upgraded from a PS4 to the Pro, and it really wasn't worth it in my opinion. Plus, I'm trying to grab a PS5 before FF VII Rebirth launches.

[Eonjay]

PS5 is plenty powerful enough as is. It is still delivering mid upper level scale graphics when compared to PC GPUs. You will get much more optimization of of a PS5 for many more years. The PS4 got optimization and support for performance that completely blows its contemporary PC equivalents out of the water.

[ZycoFox]

Is that why Digital Foundry has shown a last gen 3080 outputting 2x the frame rate of a PS5 running Alan Wake 2 at equivalent settings?

[purple101]

Can I build a rtx 3080 pc for £400.? Probably not.

So that's probably what he ment.
