Today on the official YouTube channel of the PlayStation, a video tutorial on the disassembly of the PlayStation 5 game console in the version with Blu-ray drive was published. For the first time, we have the opportunity to take a look at the hardware of a cable box. Unlike Microsoft, Sony was in no rush to share information about the “internals” of the next-gen console, limiting itself to posting images of the finished device and its features.
The Sony PlayStation 5 cooling system is represented by a massive radiator with several sections of aluminum fins and six heat pipes. A ~ 120mm centrifugal fan is responsible for blowing it out, taking in air from both sides of the case. Note that instead of traditional thermal paste, liquid metal is applied to the console processor.
The device has an 825GB NVMe drive based on a proprietary Sony driver. It will be possible to increase the storage due to an M.2 format SSD with a PCI-E 4.0 x4 interface, however to install it you will need to remove the side wall.
Recall that the “heart” of the PlayStation 5 is an AMD hybrid processor with eight 3.5 GHz Zen 2 cores and a graphics module based on the 2nd generation RDNA architecture. The built-in graphics drive 36 compute units or 2304 stream processors. The iGPU frequency reaches 2230 MHz, the maximum computing power is 10.3 teraflops. A 256-bit bus is used to communicate with 16GB of GDDR6 RAM.
In Ukraine, sales of the Sony PlayStation 5 game console will start on November 19. The recommended price for the PS 5 Digital Edition model is 13 thousand hryvnia, while the version with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive will cost at least 16 thousand hryvnia.
