Last month, Sony started shipping a model of PS5 to the stores which, while maintaining the same design as regards the external body, presented significant changes inside. Among these changes were a smaller motherboard and other tweaks that make the new model lighter and more efficient.
The Angstronomics page has published its analysis on the new model PS5 (CFI-1200) and reports that the manufacturing process of the SoC has been changed from 7nm to 6nm.
The new chip has the code name Oberon Plus and offers the same performance as the previous version. However, the size went from 300mm² to 260mm², a reduction of almost 15%.
For Sony, this change allows it to produce more PS5 chips at the same cost. Angstronomics estimates that the cost of making each PS5 is 12% lower. Despite regular cost reductions in PS5 production, Sony recently announced a price hike for its flagship console; as we all know in Europe and also in Italy, PS5 now costs 50 euros more.
