New PS4 model (CUH-1200) announced
- Thread starter raven777
- Start date
Until we have professionally measured results (a $10 thingie you put between the wall and your PS4 does not count, BTW), we can extrapolate.
Sony has proven time and again that they can reduce power usage with hardware revisions (of the PS3). Each model, and there were plenty, used less and less power, roughly as much as they said it would.
What makes you think Sony would outright lie about a rather tiny 8% reduction this time?

In case people did not see these a couple of weeks back...

I'm saying just because there is a 8% reduction in the PSU doesn't mean the actual power consumption is reduced by 8%.
I didn't say it couldn't be higher or lower. But anyone can check that 250 to 230 is 8%, not everyone can check actual power consumption.
I'm pretty sure the cost of the device doesn't matter in that space, but rather the accuracy.
About the $10 devices the problem with those cheaper devices is the milliwatt accuracy in low power situations.
I don't see the relevance about that when we're talking about the PS4 that plays games.
In fact, no one can. Until the device is in people's hands.
Because it wasn't obvious enough: I consider those cheap devices too inaccurate to be of discussion value.
And none of the points were addressed.
But yeah, keep up the snobbish attitude about power usage monitors that have accuracy problems in the sub 1 watt range for a device that currently consumes about 130 Watt under load. Extremely relevant objection.

It is perfect the size it is...just add a PS3/PS2/PS1 inside as parts get smaller and cheaper.
Potentially sell millions more for those features alone.
I still dream of the day I can play all my Playstation games wirelessly and on one system.

Basically, just in time for the masses.
Will be interesting to see how they are getting the power gains. Looks nice. I won't be getting one anytime soon though.

I would CONSIDER getting the new model if it had an HDMI 2.0 port, but that doesn't look like the case.

I always love looking at the motherboard revisions.
It's not out of the question that there are changes in the heatsink, so at least cases like this one will no longer exist. It's likely that on average the new model will be quieter.
Assuming the report that the I/O is in a different order is true, that means the MoBo design has changed.
It's not like they run internal wires for the I/O. It's all soldered and traced directly on the board. So logically, at least some sort of modification has occurred here.

It looks a lot smaller, though. Could the 500 GB model be matte, then?
It's the same old model but with 1 Tb.
This new model is only for Japan, at least for now.
I assume there was some structural change for the new PS4 model. And since they have the designs for both, they were able to make a universal cover that fits both. Obviously the original ones didn't have foreknowledge of the newer physical design.
Unless you're in Japan I don't see why it wouldn't be. Other regions aren't getting the matte one til later this year.

Have you tried any of the suggestions floating around the net? Dust, thermal paste, etc.?

My best bud's PS4 is just like yours! Maybe even louder. Like... One time I heard the PS4 as soon as I entered his 2000 sq. Ft home.

MGSV's LE console will be using this model

Which is a little disappointing, since that color scheme is rad and I'd get it even though I haven't played enough of the series to play Phantom Pain anytime soon. I'm guessing it's not coming out over here if it's the new model.
Oh, my understanding was that the model was currently Japan only? This is great news if so; clearly I should have read more carefully, oops.
EDIT: WHOOPS, the misunderstanding was that I thought this was a new bundle they just announced and not something months old.

Obviously new models are now flowing around at Japanese market. Some are saying it's more quiet than first model.

Google translate is a little wonky but its the new model works as advertised.
That's pretty significant.
Lot more than I expected

Just makes you wonder the gains they could make on a Slim PS4.
Yep it's finally time to bite.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. They probably made some changes to the heatsink. Hopefully we'll have detailed measurements and teardowns soon.
Yes, it's a mechanical button now.
I think I read somewhere in the thread that it is actually a button now (no longer touch sensitive)
Edit: beaten
Fucking christ why is Sony doing the touch buttons on the first console iteration?
You'd think they'd have learned after the PS3 that it doesn't work well...
How do you measure this?

Those 20-30 extra watts were really holding you back?

You can buy a power monitor that plugs between the PS4 power plug and mains power supply and it gives a live readout.
Many UPS systems can detect these things too.
