Sony has quietly switched the launch PlayStation 5 console with a revised model that features some notable changes. The biggest of these changes is that the heatsink is now considerably smaller than the previous one. However, crux of this change is the aluminum and copper heatsink, which has been reduced in size over the previous version, and is now 300g lighter. To put that into perspective, that is almost 16% lighter in mass than the previous heatsink. Evans noted that the fan, which uses a centrifugal design on the PlayStation 5, now has deeper impeller grooves, which could potentially push more air through the heatsink.
