The PS5 Pro is the most powerful games console ever released, but at $700 PC gaming has nothing to worry about

It was billed as merely being a 'Sony technical presentation' focusing on the PlayStation 5 and "innovations in gaming technology," but with all the rumours building up over the months, we all knew what it was going to be about and it didn't disappoint. Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the PS5, spent 10 minutes spilling some of the details about the PS5 Pro.

Front and center in the updated console is a new custom APU, designed by AMD and Sony, and manufactured by TSMC. Although Cerny didn't say anything about it, the CPU part of the chip is almost certainly going to be the same eight-core, 16-thread Zen 2 design, as having a much more powerful CPU messes up current and backward compatibility, so nobody was expecting any changes there.
