PlayStation 5 Breakdown Video Reveals What Sony Has Been Hiding Under The Hood

On their Youtube channel, tonight PlayStation has revealed a closer look at the PlayStation 5 console. In the video, they highlight each of the consoles ports, the fact it’s very quiet and a few other tidbits.

Here are some highlights from the video

• The front of the console has a USB Type-C port and a USB Type-A port.

• The back of the console has two Type-A ports, a LAN port, an HDMI out and a power port.

• Of those USB ports, the USB-C on the front and the two on the back are SuperSpeed-rated, which means they’re capable of speeds up to 10Gbit/s.

• The base is held in place by a screw vertically and there’s even a handy place to store the screw when not in use inside the base itself.

• For console aesthetic, you can place a little magnetic screw-hole inside when not using the console vertically.

• If you attach the base to the console horizontally it simply clamps over the back of the console.

• The top of the console removes with ease.

• Unlike the PS4, the PS5 has a Wi-Fi 6 wireless antenna with Bluetooth 5.1. This supports transfer speeds up to 9.6Gbit/s.

• There are two air vents on the front of the console and the entire back is an exhaust port. 

• To clean and keep the console in good temperatures it has two built-in dust catches that can be vacuumed up.

• The fan itself is a massive 120mm diameter, 45mm thick, double side intake fan. This baby is made to keep the PS5 running cool.

• On top of all those cooling solutions, the console also uses liquid metal to help with the cooling process. 

• There is an M/2 interface/PCIe 4.0 expansion slot that looks like it’ll make installing an SSD a breeze.

Watch the full video below. It ends with a somewhat beautiful shot of the entire PS5 console laid out on a table.
