YouTuber Austin Evans has taken apart a modified model of the PlayStation 5, known as the ‘1200’. They found the new model to be different, with a smaller motherboard, smaller AMD processor cooler, and integrated SSD heatsink. He also observed that while playing, PS5’s new 2022 revision consumes 10% less energy,
This is the second hardware revision of the PS5. The first occurred in 2021, when Sony reduced the size and weight of the heatsink assembly. With this the revised model was reduced by 300 grams. A few days ago, it was reported that a modified PlayStation 5 model had appeared in Australia.
PS5’s second revision appears for 2022, but it’s not a new business model
Evans got a new 2022 revision PS5 Digital, which air-ships from Australia to the US. He compared the Model 1000 and Model 1100 (2021 revision) to the new Model 1200 (2022 revision). He played all three consoles with the same scene in Astro’s arcade. The three consoles, from old to new, consume about 218 W, 229 W and 201 W respectively. The noise generated by the operating console was indistinguishable by ear or measurement.
As for temperature, the 1000 model had a hot spot of about 53 °C, rising to about 63 °C on the 1110 model, but 53 °C on the 1200 model. Immediately after removing the white outer shell, it was observed that The new model had less material on the black plastic cover. And it was visible that the SSD slot was not supported by any class of PCB. Although the fans appear to be the same size, the new Model 1200 fan has blades that are not attached to the central shaft.
Finally, you can see three different motherboards and different heat sinks for the three models. Being so different, Evans decided to weigh them and found that the Model 1000 motherboard and heatsink assembly weighed 1.58 kg, the Model 1100 weighed 1.36 kg, and the new Model 1200 (the 2022 revision of the PS5) weighed 1.13 kg. is Kg. The roughly 225g trim for the 1200 model is more than a generation’s weight difference. Other external components are likely to be heavy like the shield and metal area on the back of the SSD.
