ZooZoo Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 8 minutes ago, Legacy Gamer said: Just two^2 words: smaller heatsink, more heat. Sony has increased the price and reduced the quality. Xbox is becoming more of an attractive proposition right now. Well, not necessarily the only reason for reduction in weight. They moved from 6nm process from 7nm in this revision which alone will reduce the size of silicon. This change in fabrication might be one of the reasons behind the increased price but it will result in better availability of chips and supply will improve. Beyond this, we cant assume that reduction in heatsink will cause more heat because this is 3rd revision, they have revised the model already last year where people were again quick to jump the gun and were calling for Sony's head but an exhaustive test from Gamernexus showed that sony reduced the weight and actually improved the thermals. So I would wait for the review of new model by Gamernexus before jumping the gun again based on just hearing few things here and there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might even ditch liquid metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a 500gm lighter machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, however such videos take a lot of time to make even for nexus. By then we get experts like Austin pointing a heat gun at the exhaust and coming to conclusions ?

The new model Disc PS5 now weights what the Digital PS5 did at launch. Launch: Disc: 4.5kg / Digital: 3.9kg 2021 Revision: Disc: 4.2kg / Digital: 3.6kg 2022 Revision: Disc: 3.9kg / Digital: 3.4kg Less material with a price bump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Gamer Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) You are right. I take my words back. I had wrongly assumed the lower weight was due to a smaller heatsink. But tech sites indeed say Sony has moved to a 6nm processor, which is most likely the reason for the reduced weight for the newer versions- CFI-1202A for the disc version and CFI-1202B for the digital version https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/08/sony-launches-lighter-ps5-model-for-second-straight-year/ Edited August 30, 2022 by Legacy Gamer Corrected words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing about it in Facebook. Nothing official yet. There are rumours and reports of one happening in September. I'm sure there'll be a State Of Play before GoW: R releases, but a full-blown showcase, my guess is it'll happen in December, around TGA.
