Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com Sept. 7, the latest news shows that Sony has completely changed the internal design of its latest PS5, which will go on sale on September 15, according to previous news.

Last month, a new version of Sony PS5 was launched for Australian e-commerce. Now Youtuber Austin Evans has revealed its internal structure and found a lot of changes. The new Sony PS5 uses a new, smaller motherboard, different cooling methods, and even changes to the SSD shell.

These changes caused the PS5 to lose weight again, but there was no significant change in appearance. The really big change is the PS5 updated motherboard, which has shrunk by about 2 inches, and has added a heat pipe and a smaller radiator in the rear, so the cooling system of the new PS5 is slightly different.

Sony redesigned the heat dissipation solution on the 2021 PS5 last year, and according to Evans, the new motherboard and heat sink of the 2022 PS5 now weigh about 2.5lb (about 1135 grams), a pound lighter than the original design.

Sony has also changed the location of many components in this new motherboard design. The CMOS battery is now completely hidden under the radiator and used to be exposed, so it is easy to replace, but now the PS5 must be completely removed to replace the CMOS battery.

In the new PS5, the shell of the solid-state drive has also changed. There is no longer a PCB that runs through the entire length, but exposed metal. It's not clear why Sony changed this particular part of the PS5 design, but it's speculated that it might help improve heat dissipation.

All of these changes may bring some practical benefits to PS5, Evans said. The power of the new PS5 game is reduced by about 20-30 watts, while noise and heat output are almost the same.

Sony has shrunk almost everything, including motherboards and internal packaging, to make it lighter, Evans said. According to previous news, the digital version of PS5 (CFI-1202B) weighs 3.4kg (500g lighter than the original PS5) and the optical drive weighs 3.9kg (600g lighter than the original PS5), according to Disc PS5 (CFI-1202A).

CTOnews.com learned that the arrival of the new PS5 model came as Sony raised the price of its PS5 outside the United States, and its Chinese version rose by 400 yuan.
