A new leak about a Sony filling a new patent for the PlayStation has some people thinking that a PlayStation 5 Pro might be in the works. The new patent we are talking about Scalable Game Console CPU/GPU Design for Home Console and Cloud Gaming and by tapping into the cloud it gets a lot more for the console then the normal PS5 does now.
“The patent, titled “Scalable Game Console CPU/GPU Design for Home Console and Cloud Gaming” describes a hypothetical console that doesn’t have one GPU or one CPU, but two GPUs and CPUs. How it works is basically the console divides up the tasks and requirements across two GPUs and CPUs, which has obvious development benefits. To achieve this, the console taps into the power of the cloud.
“In a multi-GPU simulation environment, frame buffer management may be implemented by multiple GPUs rendering respective frames of video, or by rendering respective portions of each frame of video,” reads the official abstract of the patent. “One of the GPUs controls HDMI frame output by virtue of receiving frame information from the other GPU(s) and reading out complete frames through a physically connected HDMI output port. Or, the outputs of the GPUs can be multiplexed together.”
Now this is all based on a leak patent. I am saying this as there are no signs at the moment that this is a thing. On the other hand we know that it was always a possibility. So keep it in mind as a maybe as we await to see if there is anything more to this.
