I would say it is a mounting point for an internal something. Possibly with a rubber damper.

 

[B_Boss]

This fast loading is going to make all the difference to so many gamers.

Much more than raytraced reflections and so many other visual elements you’ll need to look at very closely while you’re literally trying to play a game lol. Interesting how “raytracing” seemingly because the PR marketing and tech term to focus on with these consoles...

 

[Garani]

Anyone know what exactly that is inisde the vent? Is it just a part of the assembly?

I am actually more interested in the dust. It appears to move "inbound", so it means that that particular PS5 has been working.

" to about one centimeter from the Xbox Series X and PS4 PRO body "

Kind of weird way to measure it, they also dont tell which noise meter they used (I hope it is real one, not a phone app) and other critical things.

they could point the meter to the side wall of the system and it gives out different numbers than air vents, so it should be done from 50cm away about, to get some kind of interesting reading.

Real way would be to do it from 50-100cm away, use tripod for real noise meter that is calibrated before and after, measure 10-15 minutes of LAeq and maybe LAmax but it usually isnt that good parameter as if someone farts, now that is the noisiest moment. And take 3-5 measures per category.

Those screen shots look like some app = this test is just worthless retarded bullshit.

Noise tests that arent done with real and CALIBRATED noise meters are just waste of everybodys time.

Only thing this test tells us is that series x isnt probably as noisy as ps4 pro, but that isnt any kind of achievement as pros are noisy.

source: I have masters degree in environmental noise measurements + done it as a job.

Looks like a mini turbo,
It's near the vent for maximum air intake.
Maybe this is how it achieve such high clocks.

Spoiler

Just kidding. Nice find, I wonder what it is.

I'll take the word of those that worked on the project over yours.

Robbie Bach' doesn't sugar coat anything in that book, it goes over all the last minute changes that lead to production issues etc. He didn't spare MS there, I doubt he would alter the timeline to make them look better.

Yeah, i'll take the words of engineer too. They were warned about issues before launch :

In the hurried design process, Microsoft decided late to add a hard disk drive, and then wireless controllers. The hard drive blocked airflow on one side of the machine; the wireless modules had to have enough space to avoid electrical interference. The console shell was poked full of holes to ensure airflow. In the end, the machine was a series of compromises.

In a memo dated August 30 2005, the team reported overheating graphics chips, cracking heat sinks, cosmetic issues with the hard disk and the front of the box, underperforming graphics memory chips from Infineon (now Qimonda), a problem with the DVD drive - and more. At that point, the contract manufacturers were behind schedule and had only built hundreds of units when they were supposed to be making thousands every week.

"There were so many problems, you didn't know what was wrong," says a source. "The [test engineers] didn't have enough time to get up and running." Shutting down production to debug everything properly might have delayed the launch in Europe or Japan.

The warning signs were present even before Microsoft shipped any machines. In August 2005, as Microsoft was gearing up production, an engineer said: "Stop. You have to shut down the line." When production results are really off-kilter, stopping a line and tracing a problem back to its roots is the answer. But in this case, the decision was made to carry on.

Nobody listened to that engineer, apparently because console launches are always hurried affairs. Yields generally start low. As the manufacturers analyse data and tighten controls on each assembly step, they learn how to drive the yields up.

The truth about the Xbox 360

A hurried launch, a desire to win the console war and design compromises lay behind the 'red ring of death' debacle that cost Microsoft $1.15bn

Is this a translated text?

It is referring to a screen refresh rate at 120Hz. I've seen this represented as the game running at 12OFPS, which is referring to framerate, and they are two different things. For example, you can have 60FPS displayed on a 120Hz display, much like 30FPS displayed on a 60Hz display. Likely a misunderstanding and the game is 4K-60, unless there's some hidden unlocked mode or something.

are we back to XBOX 360 RROD? This was almost 15 YEARS ago.
this is a nextgen thread. Why do people being old shit like this again up?

How i would like AMD RDNA 2 cards had in fact infinity cache and PS5 too. Would be funny listen to these guys and their comparissons. Maybe XSX without that cache is in fact (where we have seen ZERO RT rays running) the 2600 super mini. Just maybe.

If, and I want to emphasize, "IF", there's some "hidden" "trump" inside the PS5 is this.
Among the images Sony showed during the Road To presentation we could see that there's some quantity of "SRAM" inside the IO Complex. Maybe is something like the fabled "Infinite Cache" on RDNA2? Now that it's showing any signs of making a different for the gameplay we already watched.

Cerny's statement was if you had two GPUs with the same tflop capabilities, the one with the higher clock speed but less CU would perform better

Get it right

Get what right? That was exactly what I was saying: "The overclocked 5700 was an exercise to see how true was Cerny's statement that higher clock is better than more CUs".
"More CUs" = the 5700X.

And here is another quote

He was referring to overall GPU performance.

Don't just barge in here quoting me with nonsense.

While doing RT, wasn't that the point of that whole section?
The performance will be limited to how fast the GPU can finish the GPU calculations. If the RT is bottlenecking the rasterization will not matter much.

Did someone leak the PS5 internal and we never notice?

here in Brazil there is only the standard version of Demons.

Although we do have the option for Morales. Got the standard version too cause I already played the original. Anyway, I bet Remastered will come to Plus later anyway.

On the SSD side of things but MS has put a lot of money into their pockets and DF wont want to bite the hand thats giving them money.

Are you really spreading this kinda garbage?

It feels a little bare, but it seems that there is pretty much everythinbg in there.

I actually wonder, why are the symbols not on this plate? When you look at the console you can see the PS symbols all over the inside of this plate, somehow it seems to be missing here. Or i am just blind lol

Where does that come from?

I would guess that's the screw you have to unscrew to install the new SSD. Kinda like the one you have on PS4, same process.

From inside the top vent? Its not possible. Nor is it user accessible.

 

[Garani]

Where does that come from?

It looks like an X-Ray. What it is missing are the memory chips, the SSD NANDs and the Tempest engine. And there is the metal thing at the top of the assemply that you can see from the vents.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Some guy on reddit apparently won a PS5

[Ptarmiganx2]

What's worse, to have a wife, or to have a wife who's also a gamer?

I turned my wife into a gamer. Now I buy two copies of every game and two of each gaming system. Hobby is significantly more expensive. Doesn’t hurt she was the former Miss Scandinavia and may have appeared in a certain men’s magazine...I had serious game 20 years ago...

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[Insane Metal]

YES! I can see the SSD chips there (8 in total), as well as the expansion 'port'. The RAM modules are probably on the other side of the board and not visible. That other huge chip there is probably the I/O complex or something else entirely. That's a big ass chip.

Also, you can see the PSU down there.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Where does that come from?

It looks like someone's guess as it uses the PS4 Pro motherboard.

There's a big ass heatsink over it.

Believe it or not, I found it on Blueisviolet timeline back in August.
He was replying to someone that twitted them.
He was down playing the cooling, so I didn't pay it any mind, but I still saved it.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

SSDs get incredibly hot, like at least 50 degrees celsius.

This is my cache drive, and it is mostly idle:

NVMe m.2 could be a but "warm" but the SATA3 SSD is usually cool.

It's definetely not the same board, I've checked. Some similar stuff but absolutely not the same.

Great video, but I'm sorry, but what is he on about? The Japanese youtubers weren't even allowed to touch the console, watch their videos. I am sure the system is quiet, but I'm interested in how they would know if the console was cool during operation?

(I'm confident that the system isn't going to overheat, nor will the XsX)
