Unlike the previous generation PlayStation 4 series that launched in a Pro and Slim variant, it appears that Sony has no real plans to launch new variants of the its PlayStation 5 game console anytime soon. Although, this doesn’t mean that it hasn’t updated its PS5 model at all.
The Japanese tech giant had recently started shipping the new CFI-1202 that was spotted in Australia. Known YouTuber Austin Evans recently made a new video, which had him teardown the console. Based on this video, we can see that the latest model is much lighter than the PS5 models that were released on launch. Apart from a lighter weight, the company’s new console variant also apparently ran cooler than the original PS5 model while also being more power efficient as well.
The differences doesn’t end there as a WccFTech report also claimed that the new PlayStation 5 CFI-1202 arrives with an enhanced AMD Ober processor, which is dubbed the Oberon Plus chip. This SoC is based on a 6nm process manufactured by TSMC. Thanks to its its 6nm chip, the console runs cooler and even houses a smaller heatsink that, in turn, makes it even lighter than the launch PS5 variants.
Sony typically releases its refreshed versions of its consoles around the third year of a new generation. Since we are still in the second year, we can expect the launch of a new PS5 Slim and possibly a PS5 Pro version as well soon. Although, the company has yet to announce anything regarding this matter so far.
