The new revision of the Playstation 5 game console has a smaller heatsink and a higher operating temperature of the main chip from AMD. At least that much results from a direct comparison of pieces from the original and the new revision, which Austin Evans presented on YouTube.
So Sony has made some savings on aluminum heatsink material, which not only reduces production costs but can also play a role at a time when factories often do not even get these basic materials. However, the result is a product that is about 300 grams lighter and 3 to 5 ° C warmer while running, which in turn limits the possibilities of its placement in the furniture near the TV. Not to mention the possible longevity of the entire product. Inside, we still find the same x86 solution from AMD, manufactured by the 7nm process at TSMC.
In any case, Sony stated that it no longer spends any money on the production of the Playstation 5, the production and sale of the console itself is profitable. Let’s add that the consumption of the Playstation 5 during gaming is around 230 W.
