The motherboard seems to me badly optimized as spaces

Look at the fecking size of that. Should have stuck to the Lord of the Rings angles.

WOW its Big. Seems like the hardware design is unnecessarily complex. Will be a pain to repair.

Not a fan of having to teardown a ps5 to expand storage.

That’s some god level heat sink

Bloomberg were right

They spent a lot on cooling

I mean they have to as they are clocking it so high.

Wait, we have to do that to expand on storage that already is nothing to write home about in terms of free space?

Where is this leak? I’d like to see the UI.

How big is the SOC?
Series X is 360,45mm²
PS5 has more length, but less width.

Comparision via images is can be deceiving.

Even DF got it wrong and reported XSX SoC bigger then x1x

That’s quite a big console. Neat that it’s so easy to pull the sides apart. Wonder what kind of neat designs we’ll see for third-party custom panels. Guess we’ll see how expensive replacement panels are.

Russian leak was legit!

Definitely. So compact compare to PS5.

@Staffy Look at this HW stuff and UI:

Jesus, I like taking apart my consoles for fine-tuning and whatnot (One X is a dream compared to my others) but there’s no way in hell I’m going to sit there and go through all that. Seems to be an over-engineered behemoth that needs all that extra space and cooling to compensate for those boost speeds.
