First PS5 Pro teardown video. Brazil of course. My spelling was in shambles!!!

So much empty space on the PCB board. Curious that video hasn't been striked yet

A PS5 Pro Slim would have been possible. I guess the console is this size because of the fan and to remain comaptible with the disc drive addon.
 
dont you put that evil on me GIF
 
Looks like the PS5 Pro consists in a MASSIVE power supply with some logic attached to a motherboard next to it. Some substantial healpipes as well.
 
Brazil single handidly taking the thunder out of the unboxing and teardown videos that are coming next week from others.

I was sure they learned that no one liked the fan noise. If this shit happens again I am sending mine back, not going to tolerate this a second time.
I expect noise since I always lose on all hardware lottieries. But hopefully there is no coil whine at least, I have that on the base PS5 and it's triggering my tinnitus, fan noise might be less annoying.
 
Watching him gtying to remove the middle plastic was painful to watch - especially when he didn't remove all screws. Is he a 'prof' serviceman? If yes, I'd never give him my console for repairs.
 
Hard to understand everything with auto spelling but I picked up that some HDMI related chip went from CXD90061GG to CXD90069GG. Could that be a bandwidth upgrade for HDMI or widening VRR range or anything interesting like that?
 
You can definitely see the Slim and Pro were designed simultaneously, curious about the 18 blade fan despite the sizing. That heatsink is also pretty good!

Can't wait for die shots..
 
Portuguese is such a strange language. It sounds to my untrained ears exactly like Spanish and Russian smashed together.
 


Really interesting.
If it's 4nm and they're only doing it for the Pro and not the base PS5 it means that shrinking to that node comes at a premium price and does not net a price reduction but the opposite.
The semiconductor business is in a bad spot.
For the Pro itself it's great news, the mobo looks kinda empty so it seems there was actually room to make the system even smaller.
 
At this price range they better deliver higher quality components compared to the fat or slim ps5's.

Just imagine paying so much money and being presented with a humming power supply and a whirring fan.
 
I was expecting a more expensive cooling solution for the Pro. No copper like the in the OG console? weird.

Plus if Sony didn't want people getting the jump on them for these videos they should have posted theirs the day after the reveal

If they don't know by now people will break street dates when shipping starts they need to start firing some people that dictate when to release videos

Sony may just leave it up to tech sites to do them for the Pro. Not going to impact a thing even if they do their own, other than to possibly correct errors, if any.
 
4nm would explain the smaller fans and cooling setup. Wonder what the real power draw would be.

I'm always amazed by the packaging of consoles. Full system on one board and chip. I wonder what the environmental impact differences are between a console vs similar PC build are.

The difference is insane, when you consider that a 4090 alone can pull up to 500W during benchmarking. Sure, in game use yields lower power consumption, probably somewhere closer to 350-450 depending on the game and your settings (1440p vs. 4K, ray-tracing, etc.)

It looks like the i9-14900ks has a base power of 150W, but can draw up to 408W during benchmarking.

It's all based on use-case, but if you're playing brand new games on a high-end system with everything maxed out, it's distinctly possible that you could easily be pulling 750W+.
