UPDATE 1,2 (youtuber)
In the charts and in general in the review, Memory I mean the TH58LJT0T24BA4M NAND Flash Memory's temperature, in other words, the SSD's temperature. Yes my bad I call it CPU instead of APU or SoC. Get over it, please
UPDATE IGORLAB
Sony Playstation 5 – Why the new PS5 is even better than the old one and a superficial view is dangerous

How quickly one can be wrong with a superficial and visual evaluation is shown by the video of Austin Evans, which is an example that the size of a YouTube channel does not always stand for the quality of the content. Sure, the PS5’s new cooler is lighter, smaller, and looks slimmer in other ways, but it’s got it all together with the new PCB, so we’re going to prove that the new PS5 is even better than the old one.
For today’s article I (Igor) lend my keyboard to my friend Aris and write the whole thing as a “ghostwriter” on his behalf, to show you what he has found out in his own investigations. Of course, I have also embedded his video at the end and who liked this article should not be afraid to leave a like or subscription there. As always, a lot of work went into today’s investigation, but it was worth it. It’s not about badmouthing a YouTuber or their channel, but it is about the truth. The basis for Austin’s misjudgement is only the optical comparison (picture above) which we have taken from his video.
Important update from 06.09.2021 – 02:45 am
Since some readers and colleagues have questioned the measurements at the selected sensor points, there will be a second series of measurements with a total of 12 new sensors as a service in the near future (I hope tomorrow). They are now also stuck to the points that our colleagues used and that were used for comparison. Without spoiling too much, I can confirm that in the second measurement with the new PS5, the difference between the APU temperature and the room air of slightly more than 8 degrees compared to the value of the colleagues from GN with the old PS5 also corresponds approximately to what we measured as the difference in this article today.
The RAM is even significantly cooler on the top side than in GN’s measurement, despite a significantly higher room temperature (ambient). We can also validate all previous measurements as a difference in this form up to this point, but will disclose the exact results transparently. So please be patient, because the bottom line will probably not change. Rather the opposite.
Not only the cooler is new, but also the PCB!
