Sony introduces AI upscaling tech for standard PS5 consoles

Sony has launched a new AI graphics upscaling technology named Quick Spectral Super Resolution for the regular PlayStation 5. The technology stems from the company's Project Amethyst collaboration with chipmaker AMD. Sony states its more advanced PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution on the PS5 Pro remains the superior option. Early analysis indicates QSSR on the standard PS5 is slower due to the lack of dedicated machine learning hardware. The result is an upscaled resolution target closer to 1440p for games using this feature.
