Again, this port is in line with what was mentioned above: Screen-tearing prevention and variable refresh rates. You’ll need a higher-end monitor to enjoy these frame rates, however, which is where the system’s support for 120Hz displays comes into play.Īlso worth mentioning is the system’s HDMI 2.1 port, which isn’t standard yet but is a great move in the way of future-proofing. We’re hoping for a standard 60 frames per second across the board, but some games like, Dirt 5, even support up to 120fps on the PS5.
The PS5 supports 120Hz displays, which is great for eliminating screen tearing and handling higher frame rates.
DEATH BY DEGREES PS4 PRO
Though the PS4 Pro can also output at 4K, it doesn’t support that resolution with all titles and doesn’t feature variable refresh rates.

The PS5 supports 4K output at 120Hz, as well as 8K, though don’t expect to see the latter used for a few years, as 4K displays are still making their way into the homes of consumers. PS5 resolutionīut what about resolution? We want our games to look better than ever, and Sony will deliver in that regard. So when simply comparing numbers, it’s important to take into consideration that the new system will feature newer parts. As pointed out during Cerny’s discussion, the PS5 can do what the PS4 Pro can do, but with much less effort, due to its modern architecture. When comparing the PS5 to a machine that’s four years older than it, even more can be said about the power of the new machine. With the PS5, its clock speed will vary based on the game and how much is required of the GPU. This measurement refers to the rate at which the system can perform internal operations, and it’s measured by cycles per second. The PS5’s 2.23GHz is, again, over double that of the PS4 Pro, which comes in at 911Mhz. Thanks to the PS5’s 36 CUs and clock speed, it’s able to achieve a lot more from a graphical standpoint than any other PlayStation system before it. The PS5, on the other hand, will double that and then some, offering 10.3 TFLOPs. The PS4 Pro includes 4.2 TFLOPs, which means it can handle 4.2 trillion floating-point calculations per second. The term refers to the system’s ability to calculate one trillion floating-point operations per second. In essence, a TFLOP is a direct measurement of the computer’s (or in this case, the console’s) performance. It’s sort of a buzzword, but it does matter a great deal. TFLOPs is a term you might have heard a lot recently when discussing the new systems. The PS5 has more than double the number of CUs than on the PS4 Pro, but the main thing that makes a world of difference is the teraflops. Like the PS4 Pro, the PS5 uses a custom AMD Radeon chip, but as you’d expect, the newer system is more powerful.

But when you factor in what the system can do, a heavier machine isn’t so bad.īelow is a table with each system’s raw specs.Ĩ-core, 16 thread, up to 3.5Ghz (variable frequency)ģ6 CUs at 2.23GHz, 10.3 TFLOPs (variable frequency)ĭuring system architect Mark Cerny’s “ The Road to PS5” speech, we got our first look at the PS5’s specs. The PS5 comes in at 9.9 pounds - nearly 3 more pounds than the PS4 Pro - and is 15.4 by 10.24 by 4.09 inches, making it an absolute beast of a console. The only downside we know of when it comes to its specs is its weight and overall size. So that 825GB isn’t as much of a hindrance as it may seem, even if we are losing 175GB of storage space.Īside from that, you can clearly see the improvements the PS5 has over the PS4 Pro, from its 10.3 TFLOPs to its 16GB GDDR6 memory, and the ability to accept Ultra HD Blu-ray disks.
DEATH BY DEGREES PS4 UPGRADE
The PS5’s SSD is one of its shining factors, which bolsters the machine and makes the user experience better, thanks to its faster load times and an upgrade in overall performance. We’ll cover the system’s internal memory in more detail below, but for now, it’s important to distinguish the PS5’s solid-state drive (SSD) from the PS4 Pro’s hard disk drive (HDD). The one thing that - at first glance - might seem off is the PS5’s smaller hard drive size, which comes in at 825GB of memory. In nearly every regard, the PS5 is a better machine than the PS4 Pro. Afterward, take a look at the best gaming deals available now. Here’s what you need to know about Sony’s latest console, and how much of an improvement you’re likely to see should you decide to make the jump to next-gen.

DEATH BY DEGREES PS4 SERIES
It’s more powerful than its predecessor, but how exactly does Sony’s new system stack up against the apt-titled PlayStation 4 Pro when it comes to power, performance, and playability? The PS4 Pro got the job done for a while, but it seems its community is ready to move on to a newer and better console, one fit to go toe to toe with Microsoft’s Xbox Series X.
