Sony brings new PS5

Sony has probably revised his console and has launched a new pcs5 model. Through a smaller heatsink, the console should become both lighter and hotter. Nevertheless, higher temperatures should not be a problem.

Sony apparently presented a new PS5 model. First Youtuber and journalists have already examined the new model. Above all, a few things fall for the new model:

• The heatsink has become significantly smaller and is not so powerful anymore.
• The console weighs 300 grams less.
• A new fan should also have found its way into the console.
• According to the first users, the console should become a bit hotter and the power consumption should be slightly higher.

Especially about the reduced Heatsink is currently discussed and whether these could have a negative impact on the cooling and the performance of the PS5 in the long term.

What is the heatsink there? Normally the Heatsink helps to better dissipate the heat of CPU and GPU. These components consist of copper or aluminum and are often between the hot hardware and a fan.

Who discusses there? The tech-youtuber Austin Evans has taken the new model of the PlayStation 5 and examined in detail (via youtube.com). In the abstract under his YouTube video he writes to the reduced cooling:

Imagine this as with a PC. If I have a large CPU heat sink in favor of a smaller remove, the exhaust air would be hotter from my system, as the system temperatures are higher overall, as the weaker cooler can not keep up. That's exactly what is going on here [at the PS5], in my opinion.

Gamer and journalists see the new PS5 model split, but it is probably a meaningful decision of Sony. And the increased heat must not be a problem for the console in the long term. For a clear statement, it is currently lacking in meaningful data or at an official opinion of Sony.

Behind Sony's decision are probably extensive data

Why was the change? Sony's decision to reduce the radiator, probably not destroyed. An official press release or a message from Sony is officially not yet available and so far the new model is probably only in Japan and Australia.

That's why pages, such as verge, suggests that Sony made optimizations in the production of PS5 (via theverge.com).

With a lot of user data (telemetry data) of millions of consoles used by Gamern, Sony is likely to have more than enough data and details about the temperatures of consoles. At least Sony explained in a conversation that you want to use user data for optimizing the fan speed of the PS5 (via PCMAG.com).

Therefore, it is obvious that one could reduce the cooler without having to risk significantly higher temperatures. And when the higher temperatures for most gamers play no role, as the heat is effectively pushed out of the fans.

Therefore, heat should not be a problem: Basically applies to computers and consoles: As soon as the heat increases within the device, then the fans begin to rotate faster to transport the heat outward.

There would now be overheating problems at the PS5, the fans would also have to run faster to improve the heat from the console. But that does not seem to be the case according to the first reports.

Some therefore suspect that the heat development is not much larger than before, but that instead, the new fans, the Sony has installed, simply promoted the hot air outside than the old model. In the long term, that could even be better. But that is speculation for which there is no evidence yet. Here we have to wait for handproof data to be there.

Already in spring it had given first rumors for a new PS5 model. Here Sony had probably only a small thing changed, which probably noticed the few users:
