Rumor: PS5 Pro devkits might already be in the hands of developers

A trusted insider has stated that “mid-life upgrades” versions of the PS5 devkits have been making their way to AAA studios.
Insider claims new PS5 hardware devkits are on their way to developers
Gtaforums member Tez2 is known for accurate leaks related to Rockstar games, and believed to be an industry insider (or to know some people working for AAA studios). In a topic related to GTA 6 speculations over at gtaforums, he has stated that “mid-life upgrades” versions of the PS5 are, or will soon be, in the hands of developers.
This is what PlaystationLifestyle believe to be an upcoming PS5 Pro. This wouldn’t be entirely surprising: The PS5 was released 2 years ago, and if we look at the PS4 timeline, the PS4 pro was launched roughly 3 years after the console’s original release. As such, a PS5 pro release at the end of 2023 would follow a similar schedule, and it would stand to reason that the matching devkits make their way to developers several months beforehand.
Of course this is only a rumor at this point, but when asked whether this was “for sure” or “a prediction”, Tez2 replied: “For sure”.
The PS5 has been plagued by limited availability since its launch, so it feels strange to already be talking about a PS5 pro, but again, it wouldn’t be an entirely surprising timeline, and most people would expect an actual upgrade of the console after a few years.
Of course what I’d really like to know is what kind of crazy design the next PS5 revision will have.

It will probably cost a ridiculous amount of money anyway… Probably 800 euros or more

Hilarious how they can make a PS5 Pro already, but can’t get any PS5s in stores after 2 years.
I am waiting 4 ps5 slim or prostate if cheap
Seems too early to me. We haven’t seen much exclusive content for current gen consoles actually pushing the power of base PS5 yet and some reluctance moving from cross gen games. We also have the availability of PS5 as it is and what sort of improvements would it be sold on? PS4 Pro at least had 4K* to push and pushing closer to 60fps, not sure what a PS5 Pro could sell. 4K/120fps is pretty much out of the question for a price people would consider affordable on mass for the foreseeable.
Maybe enough power to be able to handle Ray tracing without needing to drop fps below 60? Maybe some alternative to DLSS as well?
I can’t see a bit of a boost in terms of resolution or frame rate being that enticing.
