After months talking about PlayStation Neo, Sony has finally decided to officially announce the new vitaminized version of its current game console. The PlayStation 4 Pro includes important updates at the hardware level to improve its features and further detach itself from its great rival, Microsoft's Xbox One S.

PlayStation 4 Pro with AMD Polaris Booster

The new PlayStation 4 Pro arrives with a new APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) that has been designed with the latest advancements made by AMD to deliver a substantial performance upgrade. At the heart of this new chipset we have an advanced AMD Polaris 10 GPU with a total of 36 Compute Units, the same configuration that we found in the Radeon RX 480 and what good performance it offers. This GPU operates at a frequency of 911 MHz to improve the graphics performance of the original PlayStation 4 by 130%, so it should be able to handle video games smoothly at 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and a constant 60 FPS rate.

Accompanying the GPU we find eight Jaguar cores again but this time they have increased their frequency by 30% to reach 2.1 GHz, a significant improvement over the 1.6 GHz of the original PS4. We continue to have 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, this time with a bandwidth of 218 GB / s, which represents an increase of 24% compared to the original PlayStation 4. With these specifications Sony ensures that the PlayStation 4 Pro will be able to move the games to 1080p and 60 FPS in addition to loosely moving the PlayStation VR reality glasses and some simpler games at 4K resolution.

The PlayStation 4 Pro includes a hard drive with a capacity of 1 TB and will hit the market on November 1 for a recommended price of 399 euros.

Sony also announces the PlayStation 4 Slim

Along with the PlayStation 4 Pro, the new PlayStation 4 Slim has also been announced, which is still a new revision of the smaller original PlayStation 4, its specifications are identical but the new manufacturing process of its APU has been used to reduce the energy consumption and with it the need for cooling so a much more compact unit can be offered. It will arrive at a recommended price of 299 euros.
