Sony is developing a new version of super resolution technology called PSSR (P spectral Super Resolution) for the PlayStation 5 Pro.
The alleged PS5 Pro GPU has machine learning capability of 300 TOPS with 8-bit integers and can support single-precision compute at an estimated peak rate of over 3 times as much as the current PS5, which is around FP32.

The PS5 Pro is under the codename Trinity and will be targeting improved and consistent FPS at 4K resolution, a new performance mode for 8K resolution, and accelerated ray tracing.
Trinity will have 30 WGP and 18000mts memory.
Rendering will be faster than PS5 by up to 45%.
Ray-tracing will be improved by up to x4 in some cases.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that GTA 6 will break all-time speed selling records quickly if Sony releases a PS5 Pro upgrade and it hits its target release date. However, there is no evidence to support this claim as sales of games are influenced by many factors such as marketing efforts, competition from other platforms, pricing strategy etc.

Bias
(85%)
The article is biased towards Sony and the PS5 Pro. The author uses language that depicts the PS5 Pro as being unequivocally better than other consoles and GTA 6 breaking all-time speed selling records quickly.
> If Sony gets this out, and GTA 6 hits its target release date, Sony may find themselves in a situation where the PS5 Pro is unequivocally the single best place to play a game that is very obviously going to break a lot of all-time speed selling records very quickly.
> One open question is if GTA 6 actually makes it out in its 2025 window. Granted, it has been in the works for a long time, but this is arguably one of the most important video game releases of all time.
> This is also important because unlike many modern releases, Rockstar is not simultaneously releasing GTA 6 for PC. The idea is not that they necessarily couldn't, but it's mainly because they will no doubt want to release an upgraded version of the game for PC some time later, and make those initial console players double dip with a bonus purchase.

The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author claims that Sony PS5 Pro and PSSR are rumors without providing any evidence to support this claim. This is a false statement as there have been official announcements about these products from Sony themselves. Secondly, the author uses an appeal to authority by citing Moore's Law is Dead as a source for information about the next-gen PlayStation console supporting PSSR technology without providing any evidence or context for this claim. Thirdly, the article contains inflammatory rhetoric when it states that FSR does not use machine-enhanced algorithms like DLSS and then claims that Sony PS5 Trinity PSSR is better than FSR2 in image quality. This statement is misleading as both technologies have their own strengths and weaknesses, and a direct comparison between them would be necessary to determine which one is truly superior. Finally, the article contains an appeal to authority by citing MLID as a source for information about PSSR technology without providing any context or evidence for this claim.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'Spectral Super Resolution' to make it seem like something new and exciting when in reality it is just an upscaling technology that has been around for a while.
