While mid-generation console refreshes have become increasingly more common, the PlayStation 5 Pro departs from the norm in some significant ways. Typically, an Xbox One X or a PS4 Pro focuses on bumping up the performance of the hardware in an effort to outpace the current consoles. More RAM, a better CPU, and a better GPU usually result in increased graphical output by virtue of sheer horsepower. For the PS5 Pro, however, Sony is doing just as much on the software side as the hardware side, and for that reason, the leap feels bigger.
