This is it! The one I've been waiting for! I'm gonna order a couple of external HDDs as soon as I see hour well it works .

I feel ya man, on a 1080P set myself and was sitting on the fence, waiting for a price drop but beast mode tipped the scales (and a killer deal on the console from my boss at work)

Looked around a bit and I may be getting confused and thinking back to the Pro's stock HDD vs the OG's stock HDD, there's a big difference in loading times there. There are definitely some games that load faster with boost-mode but I'm not sure how many or to what degree as there really isn't that much information on it.

From now on the PS4 Pro Boost Mode shall be known as Beast Mode.

I really hope that the PSVR 2.40 update fixes the issue where the console crashes my TV when putting a Blu-ray on... It's getting frustrating!!

I would imagine the increase in clock cycle speed for the CPU and faster bandwidth for the RAM are primary contributors; these things are both "unlocked" in beast mode where as at the standard operating level, they are hard capped parallel to the OG PS4 for legacy titles. More gains would be made if you switched over to SSD, as the Pro has a SATA 3 bus over the OG's Sata 2.

Honestly though permalite would be the dude to ask.

might be due to the higher CPU and RAM clock/bandwith of the Pro

Megaton for me. I picked a good time to get a Pro!

It's starting to look like this wasn't an official announcement. I've been following the thread on GAF and there's been no news yet. Shouldn't it have dropped by now if it was official?

Isn't this still a rumor?
