The PlayStation 5 went on sale last November, and while it's only been a year since the PS5 went on sale, it looks like Sony is working on an even more powerful PS5 console.
Well-known industry insiders Zuby_Tech today released a tweet breaking the news of Sony's new patent launched on October 7, 2021. Shows that Sony may be working on a more powerful PlayStation 5 console (PS5 Pro?). ）
The patented CPU/GPU design for "scalable" game consoles is designed for home consoles and cloud gaming. The "scalable" part is closely related to the patented design, indicating that there will be two APUs in this host (APU: Acceleration Processor, a product of AMD's fusion concept, which makes the processor and the unique display core on a single chip, and has the processing performance of a high-performance processor and the latest discrete graphics card). Dual APUs mean the console is probably much more powerful than the existing PS5.

Secondly, more interesting is the cloud gaming section of the new console. It is worth mentioning that Sony's previous downward compatibility patent has also been updated along with this new patent. So does this mean that Sony's cloud games can also use the backward compatibility feature? Otherwise, adding cloud gaming features to the new console patent doesn't seem to make much sense.
