TLDR: Sony have booked the 5nm node from TSMC as well as meeting with the AMD custom solutions team for sometime in 2023 which likely means they will be releasing a PS5 slim (based on speculation) in that year, which means they could cut down on power consumption and especially the size.
Also the power jump from 7nm to 5nm is not enough to warrant a design for a "PS5 Pro"
Nothing to crazy, seem's very plausible considering Sony's behaviour in the past.
Bunch of nonsense. We had more than 20% jump in PPA after moving from 7nm to 5nm. Also if PS5 slim or whatever is coming and it's not the next iteration then it will stay on the same process node. It's not that easy to just shift to new node like these Youtubers think. There are lot of factors involved which makes it not worthwhile for a company which already has the same design up and running at 7nm. If it moves to 5nm then it will be new design or atleast next iteration with incremental performance gain
