Sony's PS5 Pro teardown delivers some wonderfully meticulous design trivia


Digital Foundry shares its thoughts on Sony's recently released PS5 Pro teardown - and what the consoles of tomorrow may look like.

We've seen people taking apart the PlayStation 5 Pro in the past, but last week, Sony finally revealed its own teardown, sharing a wealth of wonderful incidental detail that gives us some remarkable insights into just how much engineering effort goes into a modern console. The new Pro's circa 279mm2 chip isn't that much larger than the Slim's 260mm2, as close as we are going to get to confirmation that Sony is using a more modern 4nm process technology, as used on the latest consumer graphics cards. It looks extraordinarily complex and expensive for a console, but who knows what's coming next - and remember, we still have Microsoft's tenth gen claims for "the largest technological leap ever" in a hardware generation to consider.
