Performance of heat sink is similar to vapour chamber is the context of what was said, but it is nicely spread over the section giving benefits to the design.
The liquid metal thermal transfer will be much better.

They said that you will get a thingy, not sure how it's called that you will put the ps camera in and then into the console.

The stand is cool, removable faceplates is also good for maybe customisation down the line and the ability to clean out the dust in it with relative ease is quite smart

Mount the TV to the PS5 you lazy ass. And get some real speakers you dunce.

Did you miss out on Cerny's presentation, it was crystal clear that the SSD is soldered onto the mainboard itself, thus the internal SSD isn't swappable like the PS4 console design. Rather you can add additional storage via the nvme drive shown in the teardown!

yeah, looks standard and will have headroom for the standard level of heatsink on an NVME.So it sounds like any PCI 4.0 SSD as long as it fits?
I wonder if those Corsair ones with the big heatsink will fit.
Just love he slow, careful, dismantling they do on these.
Looks great and as someone that spend a HUGE amount of time fixing PS2's,3/4's they still share production methodology which I like as it shows consistency and helps me when I take mine apart as it feels familiar.

The SSD expansion bay looked like it was deep enough to handle lots of different M.2 drives with heat sinks.

Speaking from a marketing and communications perspective, this presentation of this teardown is absolutely perfect.
A calm Japanese man in a smart shirt (all screams 'expert!'), sitting in a clean room, slowly and confidently showing us every important aspect of the Playstation's construction.
No screaming YouTubers. No idiotic, paid off influencers. No need to overplay or exaggerate. Just a straight forward presentation that shows everyone just how well designed the inside of the console is.
And 'liquid metal cooling' will sell an extra few million consoles. Mark my fucking words.

Only here to flex for getting the stand and screw at the bottom part 100% correct.

Seems like it, now the big question is what is the other big launch exclusive which Sony have not yet revealed? The only details MLiD dropped was that Mark Cerny was working on it and that "it is a revival of a mainstay of Playstation, one that used to be a bigger franchise". The bigger...

“We felt it was inevitable to make a generational leap in terms of performance in order to deliver a new, next-generation gaming experience. However, to do so, we had to balance every aspect of the system, from focusing on reducing the noise level to enhancing the cooling capacity, more than ever before.”

You are pretty carried away and overexcited throughout the whole post, but you went way over the top there. WTF are you talking about?

I thought that, then realised most people are morons and will think "dust catcher" = an object that takes in dust and makes it magically vanish.
The dust catcher catches dust. It will still need to be cleaned and emptied.

My thoughts of the teardown are the PS5 is bigger because they don't use a vapour chamber cooler they've cut costs there basically.
I'll have to get me one of those Samsung Pro 980 SSD drives as soon as Sony confirm it's compatible. They've made it easy to install of these.

Emotions are what make us human. It is the best thing in the world and make life worth living.
I felt happy watching this video. Happy is an emotion. You know this (I hope).

I don't think it's there at all?
It was probably something specific for that preview unit, but I have no idea why it would be there.

Slightly OT but I replaced a traditional extractor fan in my bathroom with a centrifugal one last year. It runs almost silently and have no condensation issues anymore. The electrician that fitted it explained that the angle of the fan blades causes the angle of the incoming and outgoing air to change and creates a higher pressure airflow, so at lower rpm flow rate, they create a better flow of air out of the room.
Physics is physics and the same principle applies inside the console I guess.

Never underestimate the general public's ability to latch onto a single buzzword or phrase and shape their entire buying habits because of it.

That fans like a fucking wind turbine.
Is that an extra ssd slot! That's awesome.
That heatsink is the biggest I've ever seen.
Looks easy to take apart.
The fan can be taken out and cleaned by taking off the side panel and a couple of screws. Which is excellent.
Man, this video is like console porn.

I am so glad to see liquid metal (Gallium) instead of normal thermal paste, that right there is a huge game changing in the cooling realm! Super impressed that they went with this solution!
Just wonder how much clearance we have for a heat sink on the drive?
