Forums - Sony Discussion - PS5 and PS5 pro (multi-house-hold or dev) versions

When the PS5 is produced i would like to see them come out with a pro version at the same time but a little different.

The pro version would double everything cpu (8 core now 16) video card ram etc. Why you ask the pro version would allow much higher graphics frame rate but it would also allow one game purchase be played by two people in the same household on two different screens (maybe purchase extra wireless hdmi so can be played on another screen in different room or use app on smart TV with wifi). Or even play different games at the same time. 

Also allow it to be used as a unit for game design Sony should partner up with several game engines and have their own as well. Also allow video design programs and other pro minded software. Because if the basic PS5 had 10TF graphics and 8 core CPU you double that and have a better than average PC that Sony could sell to professionals and extreme gamers. 

If they did so they wouldn't have to worry as much about game graphics passing them by mid gen and over time the price would decrease to become more main line. 

Now being a greedy tech dude i'd love to see 4x alongside the 2x option. (maybe AMD should be the one to come out with such a beast 40TF 32 core lol)

Now this would work even better with microsoft with the prfessional version being packaged with windows.

This would work even better if it would work at all. Nothing of what you said is feasible or useful. I sense a gross misunderstanding of how technology and programming works.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm hoping for a PS5 with some :

Ryzen 8 cores 16 threads
GPU with 14.4 Tflops (5760 stream process)
896 GB/s
16 GB GDDR6
1 TB SHDDD
Optical Drive Blur Ray 4K

For 499$ / end 2020.

To mark the technical gap with the Pro/X

Also double the costs, the power consumption, the heating up, the weight, the volume of the case... ;)

Sony has a solution for that: just buy two PS5 consoles.

"Allowing" these design programs wouldn't ensure that they we ported (and of course supported) at all or that many "Pro"-users would switch from their accustomed work environments.

Sounds like your average vgc user.

When I was young, you used to be able to play games with two people using the same screen.



I would like them to come out with a 3rd version - mobile, that can still play all the games but at reduced resolutions/etc. Maybe digital only. Would totally buy that AND a standard or pro.

Go home grandpa, you're drunk.

Well mostly not probable.

But it would be good to have some either 2 HDMI ports so you could hook two TVs for either multitasking or couch co-op without screen fracture, but even more for versus in house. or even a streaming option intranet to hook in other tv for the same effect. But this type of co-op and versus was dead due to XBL success.

the PRO cant come at the same time because it would cost too much; and scare the customer.
