The technical specifications of the Playstation 4 Pro (formerly Neo) have been officially released by Sony. It shows that the new console will be nearly twice as powerful as the previous PS4. Additionally, the device also supports 4K and HDR.
Finally, we know the details! Sony has officially released the specs for the Playstation 4 Pro and console enthusiasts can look forward to some surprises. On the one hand, the new console is nearly twice as powerful as the old Playstation 4. For comparison: The original PS4 achieves 1.84 teraflops of graphical computing power. The PS4 Pro, on the other hand, boasts a solid 4.2 teraflops – a noticeable improvement!
Powerful Processor and New Controller
This strong computing power primarily benefits owners of 4K screens, and 4K streaming should be easily handled by the PS4 Pro. However, the new Playstation does not have a 4K BluRay drive. The focus is clearly on gaming and not on watching movies. The console’s firmware is said to be able to upscale regular BluRays to 4K. Additionally, the PS4 Pro will receive a brand new DualShock 4 controller, which is said to have very low latency due to its USB connection. Ideal for games that require quick reactions.
Here are the details:
