I have one and even I thought it looked big in that picture. Idk, it might be something about the form factor of the disc version as well, mine is the digital edition.Looks gigantic going by that pic. The original PS4 was kinda slim though so maybe it’s not as bad as it looks there.
Haha, you have no idea. It's next to my tv and it's absolutely mahoosive and I have a 65 lg cxHad to google the current size after this post, haven’t seen it in real life, is this real??
I seen my buddy's. It is larger than last gen, yeah, but nothing that stood out compared to the old PS3 Phat. Was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be seeing it in person.Had to google the current size after this post, haven’t seen it in real life, is this real??
Like all consoles, they need to remain on the same architecture for ease of development. Don’t expect PS6.The PS5 is 7nm, not 5, so how will a custom 6nm process be cheaper?
Cool that a slim is coming so soon though.
So is it still Zen 2 and RDNA 2 based? Or will it be Zen 3 or 4? RDNA 3 isn't supposed to come out until end of 2022.
Yeah exactly, its basically the same size as the PS3 OG, just a bit taller. Not bad considering how much more powerful it is.I seen my buddy's. It is larger than last gen, yeah, but nothing that stood out compared to the old PS3 Phat. Was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be seeing it in person.
I had no issues with PS3 tbh, I liked it, but going by pics PS5 is gigantic even compared to thatI seen my buddy's. It is larger than last gen, yeah, but nothing that stood out compared to the old PS3 Phat. Was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be seeing it in person.
Angles make a world of difference, ask fat chicks on Insta. When you see it in person next to them it doesn't seem as daunting.I had no issues with PS3 tbh, I liked it, but going by pics PS5 is gigantic even compared to that
Ahh Wikipedia, the millennial's answer to Cliffs Notes.I swear, some of y'all are like that one college kid that tries to get away with using Wikipedia as legit source material when writing papers.
I assume it will be internal change only and nothing will change for exterior design.So is it a slim model or just an internal change without modifying the shell of the console?
Its not that much larger than a PS3, just taller. The PS3 is actually wider and thicker than the PS5 DE.I had no issues with PS3 tbh, I liked it, but going by pics PS5 is gigantic even compared to that
Do you think the Switch was planned to launch the year it did?Changing a design to "cope" does not sound like a planned event.
It is gigantic.Looks gigantic going by that pic. The original PS4 was kinda slim though so maybe it’s not as bad as it looks there.
Dont be fooled by the Marketing. TSMC "6nm" is like a 7nm+. Its 7nm with more EUV, so a little denser in logic.The PS5 is 7nm, not 5, so how will a custom 6nm process be cheaper?

Basically, yup.Dont be fooled by the Marketing. TSMC "6nm" is like a 7nm+. Its 7nm with more EUV, so a little denser in logic.
This is just a standard internals revision for Sony, the difference imo is Sony are going to producing PS5s using both 7nm and 6nm to boost production.
It is gigantic.
That wasn't just a cheaper made version. The origianl 60gb ps3 had ps2 cpu and gpu inside it along with the ps3 tech. The reason the first ps3 was so expensive as it was literally two consoles in one. There was also a 20gb version which was the same but cheaper.This happened with the PS3 a few years before the Slim. Not because they couldn't keep it in stock, but because they cost too much to make. It was basically a cheaper-made version of the Fat with redisigned innards (It felt lighter too).
Nail on the head!Ahh Wikipedia, the millennial's answer to Cliffs Notes.
So this news adds a 6nm TSMC node that nobody has heard of and is not mentioned in this article that details all their node plans for the next few years. So if it is happening it is not TSMC or not 6nm.TSMC Update: 2nm in Development, 3nm and 4nm on Track for 2022

Honestly, Q2/Q3 2022 seems too late if you can’t buy the current one. It’s not like they’re doing a Pro model, they’re just doing a redesign with parts that are cheaper or easier to have in bigger supplies. In other parts of their business new models every year is a norm, then they’ll even add new features but that won’t likely happen here.It's hard to believe they would release a revision of the console a year an a half after launch, seems too fast. Specially when they can't produce all the ones they want.
Man I haven't seen a TV bezel like that in agesI have one and even I thought it looked big in that picture. Idk, it might be something about the form factor of the disc version as well, mine is the digital edition.
I might have gotten used to it, but I don’t think it looks particularily big in my setup, and I only have a 42” TV
It's not hard to believe. If a revision can reduce costs they'll do it even if it doesn't change the form factor.It's hard to believe they would release a revision of the console a year an a half after launch, seems too fast. Specially when they can't produce all the ones they want.
You are missing the point of this revision. it is because they can't produce all of the ones they want. This is their solution.It's hard to believe they would release a revision of the console a year an a half after launch, seems too fast. Specially when they can't produce all the ones they want.
It’s quite old, bought it in 2009 and it was pretty expensive back then... now its bordering on antiqueMan I haven't seen a TV bezel like that in ages
1st PS4 revision was in 2014 and second PS4 revision was 2015.It's hard to believe they would release a revision of the console a year an a half after launch, seems too fast. Specially when they can't produce all the ones they want.
This won't reduce costs at all, it will increase costs (short term).It's not hard to believe. If a revision can reduce costs they'll do it even if it doesn't change the form factor.
I can't keep up with this nodeBS. 14nm+++++++ from Intel and now TSMC is rebranding their 7nm+ to 6nm which is really 7nm but with more density because EUV. Its just marketing BS, but when you lightly follow the roadmap and they change the node names it is annoying.This is 90% most likely. It's just cost cutting and I doubt they do a redesign of the enclosure until they can hit 3/5nm. They need significant power savings to reduce cooling requirements.
This article describes 6nm. It's very easy to port an 7nm design to 6nm and get an area savings of around 15% (which should translate to even higher cost savings).
Technically TSMC are being honest. Their 6nm is about 15% denser than their 7nm, so it is a new node. Its just not as dense or power efficient as TSMC's actually more advanced 5nm node. N6 is basically just "N7 but smaller" while N5 is the real "next gen" node.I can't keep up with this nodeBS. 14nm+++++++ from Intel and now TSMC is rebranding their 7nm+ to 6nm which is really 7nm but with more density because EUV.

Cost savings and lower power consumption is part of it (it might slow them to simplify and improve the availability of other components, maybe less copper for a simpler cooling solution for example), but it allows them to fab more chips: likely they can get a lower defect rate and can also fit more dies per wafer which would give them a big boost in chip supply.This is 90% most likely.

PS4 slim wasn't 2.1, even playstation official site says its 1.84 tflopSame as Slim, mate. If anything it'll be a subtle improvement (PS4 OG 1.84TF vs PS4 Slim 2.1TF).
