The Pro's GPU has 60 compute units versus 36 on the base PS5 — roughly 37-39% more raw compute (16.7 vs 10.28 TFLOPs) — plus double the SSD (2TB vs 825GB) and ML-based PSSR upscaling the base model lacks.
No PS6 specs or date have been announced. Anything claiming otherwise is speculation — we'll update this page the day Sony confirms real numbers.
For gaming alone, the gap is smaller than the name suggests — a current-gen i5 often trades blows with a same-gen i7 at 1440p/4K where the GPU is the bottleneck. The i7's extra cores matter more for streaming or heavy multitasking than raw FPS.
SSD wins outright for load times and open-world streaming (both current consoles require one). An HDD can still work for cold storage of games you're not actively playing, but not as your primary drive.
