Sony’s new PS5 has been totally redesigned inside and uses less power
By Tom Warren @tomwarren - September 6, 2022

Sony has totally revamped the internal design of its latest PS5 models. A revised PS5 model started appearing in Australia last month, and now YouTuber Austin Evans has taken a look at the internals and discovered a lot of changes. Sony is using a new, smaller motherboard for the PS5, different cooling, and has even changed the SSD enclosure.

All of these changes add up to another weight reduction, but no obvious changes to the exterior of the PS5. The real big change is the updated motherboard in the PS5. It has shrunk by around two inches, and the cooling for the PS5 is slightly different thanks to an additional heat pipe at the rear and a smaller heatsink.

Sony has also moved a lot of components around with this new motherboard design, and it means the CMOS battery is now completely hidden away under the heatsink. It was exposed before, making it easy to switch out, but Evans claims you’ll now have to completely disassemble a PS5 to replace the CMOS battery.
The SSD enclosure has also changed in this new PS5 mode.

“Sony shrank almost everything including motherboard and the internal packaging to make it lighter and almost certainly cheaper (for them),” says Evans on Twitter.
The new PS5 model arrives just as Sony has hiked its PS5 prices outside of the US.

PS5 update rolls out globally with 1440p support, gamelists and new party features
By Steve Dent @Stevetdent - September 6, 2022

Sony has rolled out the latest PlayStation 5 system update globally with a much-requested feature: 1440p video output. The feature, first previewed in beta last July, will finally provide an option between less-sharp 1080p and demanding 4K that can reduce framerates. It will be especially beneficial to users with PC monitors that natively support 1440p QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution.

Your monitor or TV will need to support 1440p/60Hz or 1440p/120Hz, Sony said.
However, using 1440p will disable variable refresh rates (VRR) that sync game and monitor framerates. That means you may see screen tearing and other issues that reduce smoothness.

The update also includes Gamelists, essentially folders to store games. You can have up to 15 Gamelists with 100 games each that include a mix of digital and disc games. Other new features include the ability to request a Share Screen from a fellow party member, view new friends' profiles and receive notifications to help you join a friend's game from a party chat.

A new feature in preview in the UK and US, meanwhile, lets you do YouTube searches using Voice Command from anywhere on PS5, including during gameplay.
