DF and IGN speculate that the Pro has a GPU similar to a 4070 and the base PS5 something similar to a 4060.

The former performs around 55% better than the latter.

They likened the PS5 Pro to 4070 by factoring in features (DLSS, PSSR, RT potential). These features were factored out in the PS5 vs 4060 comparison. So if PSSR and RDNA4 RT live up to the expectations, the real-world gap between PS5 and Pro should be much bigger than 55% in the games that utilize RT and PSSR.

I was born in 1987, but some of the tech and stuff I and the people around me were into were from the late 70's. Late 70's and early 80's contextualized the advancement of technology.

Example: The first console I played was an Atari 2600 (late 70's). The first game systems I ever owned are Mattel Acquarius and an MSX computer (early 80's), my experience with all three happened at around the same time, so it made me appreciate how great the MSX was lol.

Using older tech was the default experience here in Brazil, so I know the feeling, lol.

I'm from 1993 and my first console was the Sega Master System... in late 1999, when the PS2 was about to be released xD

The first game I've ever played was Prince of Persia in a PC (whose system I really have no clue what was, probably the DOS version running on a windows 3.1 or so), earlier that year tho... but I hated it.

Sonic on the Master System was the game that made me a gamer.

Then my cousin got a Mega Drive and I got to see 16-bit Sonic and holy sh... lol

So yeah, experiencing generational gaps from 3rd to 7th gen one by one was really something crazy, which people starting to game nowdays will likely never experience.

Ah Prince of Persia... My brother's best friend had it on his PC back in 1992~ (He also had a Sinclair with its quirky game cassettes lol), and I just couldn't believe how great the animations were. But PC from my perspective as a child was like a "Holy zone exclusive to the gods, begone small peasant!". I was happy with my little MSX with its Konami and Japanese greatness :D

I've never seen a MasterSystem, but little did I know that my first ever controller (which was compatible with MSX computers) was actually Master System's! My first owned game console was the MegaDrive, and yes the generational leap was glorious indeed (First game I watched on it: Mortal Kombat 2. I was a closet rascal!).
