After two years of speculation and false starts, we finally have details about the PlayStation 5 Pro model's internals. The console's most powerful iteration is expected to launch sometime in Q4 2024, just in time for the holidays.
The PS5 Pro's specs first leaked Thursday via the YouTube channel Moore's Law Is Dead. According to the channel's sources, the upcoming "high-end version" of the PS5 (codenamed "Trinity") features a larger GPU with 45% faster rendering than the current console. Most notable, however, was the sources' assertion that the PS5 Pro would boast 67 teraflops of 16-bit floating point calculations or 33.5 teraflops of 32-bit floating point precision. Compared with the current PS5, that's a 45% rendering performance improvement—if the video's sources are correct.
5 video games we wanna smell, now that it's kinda possible with GameScent

Games are onslaughts of sight and sound, and with rumbling controllers, even touch. But have you ever wondered what all 1,000+ Pokémon smell like? Because we have. With the news of a weird device called GameScent, we’ve rounded up a list of which game worlds we’re most curious to get a whiff of – for better or worse.
With its hexagonal shape and gaudy lights, the GameScent itself looks right at home among other gaming peripherals. It’s basically a diffuser that puffs out different smell canisters based on what’s happening on screen – whether that’s games, or even just TV and movies. Scents vary from pleasant, like Forest, Ocean and Storm, to questionable, like Gunfire, Explosions and yes, Blood. The idea is to help immerse you in the game (or movie) world, apparently thanks to AI that figures out what smell is needed by listening to the audio.
