The new PS5 model is lighter and more energy efficient
Evans got hold of a PS5 model 1200 and compared it to the other 2 variants of the system (models 1000 and 1100). Now we know for sure that the new model weighs approximately 453 grams less and consumes between 20-30 watts less.
The youtuber notes that Sony reduced the size of multiple components, hence it is slightly lighter and more energy efficient. On the other hand, we know that this new model does not present significant changes regarding the heat and noise it produces.
Some eye-catching modifications are a smaller motherboard and a different cooling system, which now has a smaller heatsink and an extra heat pipe. Components like the CMOS battery have moved and are now more hidden, so changing them will require a bit more work.
The console’s SSD casing was also modified, probably for better heat dissipation. Evans concludes that Sony made significant modifications to streamline the console and possibly reduce its production costs. Below you can see his video:
