It certain looks like the PS5 Professional shall be introduced within the subsequent few weeks

The PS5 Professional shall be introduced in mid-September and can probably hit retailer cabinets someday throughout the vacation season, in response to . The knowledge was introduced forth by a , who has a fairly good observe report for leaking upcoming video games and {hardware}.

Right here’s what the leaker has laid out. Take all of this with a grain of salt, because it’s not coming from Sony. To begin with, it’ll truly be referred to as the PS5 Professional. This was assumed, based mostly on the PS4 Professional, however we didn’t have any precise naming particulars. The consumer claims to have entry to the packaging design, however didn’t really feel snug sharing copyrighted pictures. As a substitute, they sketched out the packaging, as seen under.

As you’ll be able to see, the design is much like the PS5 Slim, with a white colorway. We don’t know if it’ll be accessible in different colours past white. There appears to be three black stripes throughout the center, which is a brand new design ingredient. These stripes might double as cooling vents however, once more, we simply do not know.

The leaker additionally doesn’t know if the console could have a disc drive, although it has been theorized that it might ship and not using a drive to be able to preserve prices down.

The doc is believed to be legit by IGN and different websites, however the video has since been taken down at Sony’s behest.

The video recommended that the forthcoming console could have the identical CPU as the usual PS5, however that there shall be a “High CPU Frequency Mode” that pushes the chipset by ten % to three.85GHz. It has additionally been indicated that the GPU shall be powered by 33.5 teraflops versus the usual PS5’s 10.28 teraflops.

There have been latest adjustments in AMD’s structure that make it troublesome to immediately evaluate teraflops between the PS5 and the PS5 Professional, . The leak suggests a forty five % uptick with rendering.

In any occasion, it certain appears like (and even days) away from an official announcement from Sony. Right here’s to hoping the PS5 Professional gained’t completely .
