At the end of August there came a controversy around PlayStation 5 and its internal review that reached stores. PlayStation began distributing a new version of the console with slightly different components, which weighs about 300 grams less than the release version, mainly by the use of a smaller dissipator. This gave rise to an incomplete analysis on its thermal dissipation by the YouTuber Austin Evans, which unleashed the controversial in the networks by a supposed worst performance of the console in these models. Allegations that Digital Foundry and Gamers Nexus have already disassembled.

There is no significant difference between the old and the new Digital Foundry PS5 As a Gamespot and expanding Engadget, the two channels have carried out a Joint Analysis of the new PS5 model with a clear conclusion: The performance is identical . At all practical levels, there is no significant difference between the old and the new PS5 . At the thermal level, the current review operates at a temperature very slightly higher than that of the original model, it points out the analysis, but it is a despicable difference in the world of consumer electronics.

They are mostly equal as to the experience of the Foundry Digital User and, in addition to the new thermal provision, the review slightly modifies the base plate of the console, with which some components operate freshest and others hotter. There is no evidence that this is nothing to worry about, assuming that you keep your PS5 in well-ventilated areas, says Digital Foundry. The result is that, when playing, the new PS5 review offers the same performance as the original . Updated both to the latest version of the PS5 firmware, the two media did not find any difference between the performance of the old model and the new one.

The main question of whether the new PS5 is better or worse than the launch model can be answered saying that are mostly the same , of course in terms of the experience of the end user, adds the specialized medium. In short, as James Franco would say on The Interview , they are different but even so the same. We remind you that PS5 has received this week an update full of new features and improvements throughout the ecosystem, including the possibility of expanding the storage with additional M.2 SSD discs.
