The current PS5’s internal chipset is said to be rather large. A die shrink from the original 7nm processors to the new 3nm fabrication technology being touted by TMSC, the company that actually makes the AMD-designed chips, could save a lot of space. Because the chips would run cooler, they could use a smaller heatsink, in turn letting Sony shrink the console. Fingers crossed any such move would also cut down on noise as well.

PS5 Slim release date

The recently announced model looks largely the same as the current PS5, but it weighs around 24 per cent less, isn’t as chunky (with a 30 per cent overall footprint reduction), and comes with a detachable disc drive that bulges out from the side. If you opt for the digital edition console, you’ll be able to buy the disc drive at a later date.
