This is great that they are putting it all out there. Its been awhile since I really cared to learn about what was under the hood.

100%, all they have enough expertise to do is judge aesthetics and ergonomics, nothing that is actual engineering... it'll be some day when I hear one of them discussing material science... not that I know anything much about it but I have friends in those fields.

Cheaper and not too hard vs more expensive and easier. People will complain either way until the technology is invented where, when you think about changing it someone magically appears in your home, changes it for you, pours you a drink and makes you a steak and then leaves. All without saying a word.

It's not liquid cooling, it's air cooling with liquid metal instead of paste to provide 100% sync between the die and the heatsink resulting to superior cooling than anything else. You can use liquid cooling with it as well.

If he'd said 'it will make it quiet and more people will buy it because it's quiet' then maybe, but he specifically said people will buy into the buzzword and it will sell a couple of million more units on that alone. Which is ridiculous.
My PS4 Pro is annoyingly loud, so I hope it is quieter. I'm still buying it anyway. The size is the thing that's making me wonder about cancelling. I won't, but it's definitely making the thought enter my mind. It's way too big for a console. Embarrassingly so.

Why do you say the bolded? Why is it better than radial fans?

Wouldn’t that allow even more dust into the system?

Did you watch the video? It was clear as day!

I went with the digital edition. It's going in a well ventilated cabinet. The only thing I will really touch or (ever see) is the Dual Sense.

I didnt watch the video but I am excited for the PS5. I primarily game on Xbox but Sony always pulls me in with their amazing exclusives. I am also excited to see what their new SSD tech is going to do for gaming overall.
Sony is in a great position to continue their market dominance going into next gen.

I don't have it in my hand personally so I am not 100% on that, but I am pretty confident that the clip and bottom base of that stand is going to be metal, just looking at the sheen of the clip it looks metallic.

That’s why you have a dust catcher.

I feel otherwise about PS3->PS4, if we are talking about launch consoles. The OG 60GB PS3 just oozed quality. PS4 was a rather basic plastic box. I do agree if you are referring to the 3rd revision of the PS3, that thing was terrible.
PS5 has that same feeling of quality that the PS3 60GB launch edition had.

There's no guarantee. I've had plenty of devices before where there's been a physical bump, but the button is still capacitive. In fact I've got a heater right next to me that's exactly as I described.
I really wanted him to show it in more detail. Sony's last two consoles have used this trash (PS3 and PS4 launch models) so I wouldn't put it past them.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I'm not sure people know how many PS3 editions there were.

I think the issue is depth. Some ssds have a deep heat sink that may not fit.The SSD expansion slot is pretty big to like 90% of the M.2 SSDs in the market.
Even the ones that have some type of cooling inside the RAM chips.

I thought it was implied but maybe not. But I think it’s a given considering how many people complained about the ps4 fans and noise that this could put people over the top to buy the console. They took the steps to address a big issue from last gen. Still can’t get in board with not buying a console because of its size when especially when a big part of why it’s this size IS the cooling solution

That dual-mode stand has some clever engineering in it.

Even in these cases... seems like they thought about that... the slot seems pretty deep.
I believe you can fit something like that:

wow it really is HUGE
do you need to keep the side panels on? can you just toss them?

Also, it's an expansion slot. Even after installing the extra SSD, the internal one stays usable. Testing any IO performance differences will be interesting.The SSD expansion slot is pretty big to like 99% of the M.2 SSDs in the market.

Just watched the video and... JFC... liquid metal? REALLY? IN A F*CKING CONSOLE???? Is Sony really THAT stupid?
Liquid metal is an excellent TIM, HOWEVER, it comes with GREAT risks, mostly involving its electric conductivity. If the console is standing or on its side permanently, with no movement at all, there is no problem using it as a TIM and in fact it's a great choice. However, if you move the console around (which happens a lot with kids and people going from one place to another), you risk the APU to short-circuit with other parts because of the liquid metal leakage.
Also, liquid metal corrodes the heatsink metal, even if it's copper-based, so it requires constant manteinance (at least checking every year in order to check wether it has or hasn't corroded the heatsink enough). In the PC world, that's a usual thing among enthusiasts. In the console world? not at all.
Mark my words: there will be a lot of complaints about liquid metal leakage and motherboards short-circuited because of the console movement.
If you plan on getting a PS5, just keep it still in one place and do a regular yearly manteinance job on the heatsink and all will be fine. =)

What were the rumored Oberon specs back then?
Edit: Nevermind, it's the same old test data we have known for a long time.

It is a pretty massive heatsink and fan, so it'll handle it better than the PS4 anyway.

Not really. The Sony patents have detailed methods in order for those not to happen.

That heatsink is awesome. When he pulled that out, I about shit. Great stuff from the Sony engineers.

Massive heatpipes.

Also I had to watch a few times, but there was a heat pipe in that first cover shield, and did you see the vias at the back of the APU.
Ps5 APU is cooled both sides in effect, its hard to catch, and matches the patent. There is a small cooling of the die on the back as well as the front.
Huge.
Called it.

I've seen the tear down multiple times now, it looks great and masterfully engineered. One thing I didn't get was this small little knob thingie that the engineer puts back on the rear of the console. He takes something off the base stand and inserts it in the black rear part of the console.
