PS5 Pro Speculated to Perform Like $449 AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT “at Best” Due to Lack of Infinity Cache

The PlayStation 5 Pro, a new video game console from Sony Interactive Entertainment that has been dominating gaming headlines this week for a variety of reasons, including its $699.99 MSRP, will deliver lower performance than the Radeon RX 7800 XT and, instead, compete more closely with the Radeon RX 7700 XT, an RDNA 3 GPU that can be had for under $399.99, according to online discussions that suggest the PS5 Pro's GPU lacks Infinity Cache—a technology that AMD developed to enable greater bandwidth in its graphics products.

Well...

given that the 7700XT is just a GPU and needs other stuff, like a CPU, PSU, drive, and such to run...

Maybe $700 isn't that bad of an all-in price.

7700xt is only raster

RT would be between 4070 & 4070 super. That costs $150 more than the 7700xt

I wouldn't buy one myself, but in the grand scheme of things it isn't that bad. Most console gamers tap out after $500 so this is why most of them are in an uproar.

$500 is sort of a threshold for a console.

Sony is testing new waters here

Yeah, all the more to my point.

GPU tech has just gotten expensive no matter how you package it.
