However now Moore’s Law is Dead has published a series of technical specifications of the hardware that will belong to the PS5 Pro. During a live broadcast on YouTube, it became known that the new model will come with Octa-core AMD processordesigned for architecture Zen 2. So far, by the way, nothing new. What’s really remarkable is that the chip will 4 nanometerscompared to the 7nm included in the original version of the device.
