New PS5 Model, Called 'Project Trinity,' Is Rumored to Have Smaller Processor but Faster System

A rumor emerged regarding how Sony could drop a new PlayStation 5 (PS5) model, codenamed "Project Trinity." The notable changes in the rumored PS5 Pro console would be its smaller processor and a bump in speed.

Rumored PS5 Pro Codenamed 'Project Trinity'

According to Insider-Gaming, the rumors said that "Project Trinity" was a codename given for the in-development PlayStation 5 Pro. Many fans are excited and want to learn more about the upcoming specs of the long-awaited Sony console that was rumored to be in development.

Another leaker, Zuby_Tech, talked about the rumored PS5 Pro and how it had two significant improvements. Before everything else, it's important to note that these are still rumors, and fans will have to wait for the official statement from Sony, which could give info about the upcoming console and its development.

Leaker Noted that the Brand Could Come With Major Improvements Such as Having a 5nm APU

The leaker noted that the brand new model's major improvements would be having a 5nm APU, which would be a significant change compared to the 7nm APU found on its launch system. In addition to this, the device is also expected not to feature any liquid metal.

This matters because the new changes on the rumored PS5 model signal that it would likely run at a cooler temperature during its use. Regarding the 5nm APU, it means that the console would run on less energy consumption.

Some other changes to the console reportedly include it having a lower thermal output, smaller sizes in terms of dire, and what was regarded as ultimately faster computing power. All of these are expected to make the console run more efficiently.

Other Improvements on Rumored PS5 Pro Include Expectations That the Console Would Run Faster

Insider-Gaming also reported that it remains to be seen if the new improvements for the expected new PS5 model would be replacing the standard PS5 or if they are for the rumored Pro model.

While the Pro model is rumored to be in development, the system will reportedly come with a 30 WGP and 18000 Mt/s memory. These developments could improve the console's speed despite its smaller processor size.

Insider-Gaming noted that it is trying to confirm these rumors, especially with regard to "Project Trinity."

Tech Spot also reported about "Project Trinity" and how it could be launched in late 2024. The report also referred to this particular console as a potential PS5 Pro model.

The outlet noted that Sony has been working on the new PS5 console since last year. The rumored PS5 Pro will reportedly have higher framerates while playing in 4K, and it could even feature an 8K performance mode on games.

Once again, it's important to note that these remain speculations because, as of press time, Sony has yet to provide details or confirmation regarding its new moves and if it will be launching new PS5 model.
