We already know that the PS5 will be a huge gaming machine that will run next-generation 4K games nimbly at high frame rates But a new teardown video released by Sony gives us a better idea of how the new console will handle these demanding tasks

The seven-minute video by Yasuhiro Otori, vice president of mechanical design at PlayStation, takes a look at all the components of the PS5 and explains how they work together to deliver powerful, cool, and quiet next-generation gaming

The first thing Otori explains is the massive size of Sony's gaming console (roughly 153 x 10 x 4 inches) Otori says that this enormity allows for "a dramatic increase in performance [On the front are a USB Type-C SuperSpeed port and a Hi-Speed USB Type-A port On the back are two SuperSpeed USB-A ports, plus Ethernet, HDMI, and power connections Ohtori also shows off the console's circular plastic pedestal This pedestal can be easily unscrewed with a tool when the user wants to switch between vertical and horizontal placement

Here's where it gets interesting: the PS5's white side panel can be removed without tools to get a better look at the cooling fans underneath This not only allows users to easily clean the PS5's fan manually, but also opens up the possibility for custom faceplates like those on the Xbox 360 Sony has previously stated that the PS5 will be very customizable

Ohtori also removed the PS5's large 120mm double-sided intake fan There are slots on either side of the fan to catch dust, allowing it to be sucked out of the system; the 4K Blu-ray drive is covered in metal with a layer of insulation to reduce noise from spinning discs

The clip finally gives a good look at the PS5's motherboard, fully revealing an 8-core AMD Ryzen 2 CPU with 103 teraflops of power, 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, and an onboard 825GB SSD (the latter looks surprisingly small) PCIe 40 compatible M2 interface is also available, allowing users to add their own storage

The last important feature Otori will discuss is cooling: the PS5 uses custom liquid metal heat conductors designed to keep the system from overheating You can also see the PS5's massive copper heat sink, which is designed to "achieve the same performance as a vapor chamber," according to Ohtori Vapor chambers are designed to spread heat in multiple directions for more effective cooling, so if the PS5's cooling system works similarly, it bodes well for the console's performance

Early hands-on experience with the PS5 suggests that the system is very quiet during gameplay, and looking at the advanced internal design of the console, it is easy to see why when the PS5 launches in the US on November 12, all of these components will come together to create an together to deliver immersive, next-generation gaming (and perhaps even new customization options)
