Yesterday, Sony China's official micro blog launched a micro blog question. What's the biggest news today? It is believed that most heavy mobile phone users will only remember the release of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and have long forgotten Sony Dafa. Sony held PS4 series new product launches in overseas and Hong Kong earlier today, bringing PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro.

Compared with the PS4, the PS4 Slim has the same hardware configuration and similar performance. However, the appearance converges a lot. Compared with the PS4, the volume is reduced by 30%, and it is lighter and simpler overall. At the same time, the noise and heat control rumors of PS4 Slim will be better than PS4 Slim.

The other new PS4 Pro is an upgraded version of PS4. According to Sony's introduction, the GPU performance of the PS4 Pro has doubled compared with the PS4. When playing FPS games with PS VR, the PS4 Pro can display more than twice as many picture details as the PS4, making the virtual reality feel more real. In addition, the PS4 Pro also supports HDR and 4K resolution, and can achieve better picture output through oversampling and anti aliasing optimization.

Compared with the PS4 Slim and the PS4, the PS4 Pro is significantly heavier. The main reason is that the upgrade of the GPU brings higher cooling requirements. The built-in customized APU of the PS4 Pro integrates the customized GPU of the AMD Radeon series, with a floating point operation capacity of up to 4.2TFLOPS, 2.3 times higher than the current PS4! In contrast, the PS4 Slim has only 1.84 TFLOPS. But there are both advantages and disadvantages. The powerful performance not only makes the PS4 Pro sacrifice the body thickness, but also makes the peak power consumption of the whole machine jump from 165W to 310W, almost doubling.

The following is the specific configuration information of PS4 Pro:
