Regardless of the name, the upcoming console will be lighter thanks to a die-shrink treatment. The latter is a more advanced fabrication process for shrinking a die of a processor’s circuit. This results in smaller pathways and elements used in the circuit’s construction, which take up less space.

Furthermore, it benefits chip foundries in terms of cost, as shrinking the die means fewer major architectural changes to the processor. The new PS 5 Slim console is also rumored to use less power and thus will run cooler than the standard PS 5.

According to reports, the company is also working on a solution to eliminating the need for a PS5 stand when the system is placed horizontally.
