Grand Theft Auto 6 launches in 2025. Now, a new report has detailed the specifications of the console. The leaks reveal that the PS5 Pro will include improvements to system memory, U clock speed, in addition to graphical performance.

Insider Gaming reports that the PS5 Pro's system memory (576 GB/s) will be more efficient than the PS5 (448 GB/s), with a 28 percent increase in bandwidth gain. The ‘Pro' version of the console will reportedly pack the same eight-core AMD Zen 2 U as the PS5, but will come with a ‘High U Frequency Mode,' reaching clock speeds of up to 3.85GHz — a 10 percent jump over PS5's 3.5Ghz.

“In High U Frequency Mode, more power is allocated to the U and will downclock the GPU by around 1.5 percent, resulting in roughly 1 percent lower GPU performance,” the report said.

New leaks also suggest audio enhancements for the PS5 Pro, claiming “The ACV in the PlayStation 5 Pro runs at a higher clock speed over the standard PlayStation 5, resulting in the ACM library having 35 percent more performance.”

The report also claims that the PS5 Pro would come with a detachable disc drive, same as the slimmer version of the standard PS5, and 1TB storage.

Last week, leaked documents from PlayStation developer portal revealed GPU improvements coming to the PS5 Pro, as well. According to the leak, the new console would feature 45 percent faster rendering than PS5 and “2-3x Ray-tracing (x4 in some cases).” The PS5 Pro would also reportedly feature up to three times the compute power of PS5 — 33.5 teraflops of single-precision compute power compared to the PS5's 10.28 teraflops. For context, Xbox Series X, which claims to be the most powerful current-gen console, comes with 12 teraflops of computational power.

Sony has not yet announced plans for a ‘Pro' version of the PS4 was released in November 2013. So, a PS5 Pro should likely hit the market sooner rather than later. Sony did launch a slimmer and lighter version of the PS5 with slightly bigger internal storage and a detachable disc drive in November last year. The PS5 slim retains the original console's processing power, graphical capabilities and pricing.

Last month, industry analysts Grand Theft Auto 6, set to arrive sometime in 2025. The PS5 has sold over 50 million units since its launch in November 2020.
