Well, with 2 WGP (4CU) disabled for yields and only 2Ghz clock speed, it's probably closer to the 7700XT. Though apparently it will also have the RT hardware from RDNA 4 included, so there's that. What I find more surprising is that they'll stick with Zen 2 CPU cores, though now with a 4.4 Ghz top speed, and 16 GB RAM. That will limit the performance of the Pro quite a bit imo |
I think it makes sense. The "Pro" consoles are mainly for higher visuals and resolution than anything else. With games like FFXVI having a render resolution of as low as 720p and a lot of newer games not fairing much better than 1080p, I think a boost in GPU is the right call assuming the price remains reasonable. There's only so much advancements one can do with a limited price target.
