The internal design of the latestPlayStation 5models has received a complete overhaul and as a result, has seemingly made the console lighter and more energy efficient.
When it comes to how heavy each one is, Evans positioned each console on a set of scales with the new 1200 series coming in at around half a kilo less than the original model at 3.302 kilos. For comparison, the 1100 series also dropped in weight to 3.547 kilos from the 1000 series
Check out Austin Evan’s breakdown of the new PS5 below:
Another test showed that the new PS5 model uses close to 30 watts less than its predecessors, making it more energy efficient. Finally, a lot of components have been moved in place, such as the CMOS battery now being found underneath the heatsink.
Earlier this week, Sony began to roll out a new system software update toPlayStation5 players that enables1440p HDMI video output support, among other updates.
