However, the CPU in the PS5 Pro will have a “ ” that is said to turbocharge the CPU's power by 10 percent (up to 3.85GHz), although this comes at the cost of a slight 1.5 percent downclock in GPU performance. Memory will reportedly get a big boost too, with the PS5 Pro’s memory bandwidth being increased from to . Tom claims that the system memory will also be more efficient, and that the bandwidth gains could be even faster, allowing it to handle the demands of intensive games better.
