It is 60% smaller than the original PS5 The new version of the PlayStation 5, released by Sony in November 2023, is not much smaller than the original model of the console. Not everyone was happy with how much the PlayStation 5 Slim has shrunk . Enthusiast modder Not From Concrete managed to put the Japanese manufacturer to shame by showing how to reduce the size of consoles. [caption id="attachment_85008" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation 5[/caption] He introduced the Tiny PlayStation 5, a tiny special version of the console, which is positioned as the smallest PS5 with a removable optical drive. It is 60% smaller than the standard PS5. Learn, Sony: the smallest PlayStation 5 with a removable optical drive is presented It is based on the PlayStation 5 version of the CFI 1200 with a smaller motherboard. It also uses a smaller M.2 SSD with a maximum length of 42 mm, a modified cooling system with a Blackridge radiator and a 120 mm Noctua fan. The power supply has been replaced with a smaller 250W model from HD Plex to save space. https://youtu.be/uUkn_y73U_M The drive is placed in a separate case so that, if necessary, it can be connected or removed at any time to facilitate transportation. Despite the smaller cooling system, the temperature of the Ryzen chip remains below 60 degrees Celsius during games, but the Noctua fan runs at maximum speed, so this mini version of the PlayStation 5 is louder than the regular version. Let us recall that while developing the PlayStation 5 Slim, Sony reduced the body size by 30% and reduced the weight by 24%. In addition to support for a removable drive, the new version of the console has some improvements, such as a 1 TB solid-state drive and two USB Type-C ports.

For now, the services necessary for registration are working, but nothing lasts forever Sony has just started selling its updated PlayStation 5 Slim game console . Users online began to express concern about such an important detail of the new product as the console’s removable disk drive. [caption id="attachment_81938" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Sony PlayStation 5[/caption] The removable drive of the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim may eventually turn into a “brick” The more compact, updated console itself does not have an optical drive, but users can buy it separately and connect it to the console. As previously reported, this will require an Internet connection. Now there are reports that resetting the console will also deregister the drive. This means that the user will have to register it again online, otherwise the device will not work correctly. The concern is that the device may become unusable over time, given that online services do not last forever. The same problems can presumably arise with the internal drive. In addition to support for a removable drive, the new version of the console comes with some improvements such as a 1TB SSD and two USB Type-C ports.

No prices yet The Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 video card, which the manufacturer itself calls the fastest RTX 4090 on the market, was introduced back in May but is only now entering the market. [caption id="attachment_56268" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090[/caption] More precisely, the start of sales is scheduled for September 19. There is no price yet, but the adapter will be very expensive. And because it's Asus, and because the card is equipped with liquid CO, and because it is the fastest version of the RTX 4090 on the market. Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 will hit the market on September 19 [caption id="attachment_56269" align="alignnone" width="780"] Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090[/caption] Frequencies have not yet been disclosed, but we know about a 24-phase power subsystem, new temperature sensors, new inductors, and liquid metal as a thermal interface. A plus is a very unusual-looking water block.

True, you will also need to buy a motherboard The first Asus video card from the BTF (Back To The Future) line has entered the market, which is deprived of the usual power connector to which you need to connect any cable. The firstborn of the new family is the GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming BTF (TX GAMING-RTX4070-O12G-BTF). [caption id="attachment_56336" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming BTF[/caption] The adapter is equipped with a GC-HPWR connector, which Asus itself calls Advanced BTF. Through this connector, up to 600 W of power can be supplied to the card, but you need a suitable motherboard since it must also have this connector. Asus offers to buy a new video card along with the motherboard. Considering that this connector did not previously exist on the consumer market, the motherboard will still have to be updated. Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming BTF presented [caption id="attachment_56337" align="aligncenter" width="738"] Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming BTF[/caption] The new RTX 4070, apart from the power connector, does not stand out in anything special. Its length is 317 mm, and the GPU operates at frequencies up to 2550 MHz. The cost of the video card together with the TX Gaming B760-BTF WiFi motherboard is about $962. A kit including the Asus GT502 case is also available for $1,141. For now, new items are available only in China.

2048 bits per stack HBM memory is getting faster with each generation, but HBM4 could bring radical improvements in data transfer speeds. [caption id="attachment_55914" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4090[/caption] According to the latest information, the memory bus width can be doubled at once: from 1024 to 2048 bits per stack. For comparison: HBM became a 1024-bit bus back in 2015 and has not changed since then. What if the GeForce RTX 4090 had such a memory? That is, the peak throughput of the stack, all other things being equal, will increase from 1.15 to 2.3 TB/s. True, with such an impressive increase in throughput, manufacturers of finished devices may well reduce the number of stacks to save money, so a particular product may not receive this entire twofold increase. Samsung and SK Hynix are already developing new memory, but there is no data yet on when it might hit the market. A document leaked online about six months ago indicated that HBM4 could only be released in 2026.

650 adapters sold in five days Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT video cards are already out. It turned out that at least at the start of sales and at least in the large German Mindfactory network, the older model turned out to be very popular. [caption id="attachment_54829" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Radeon RX 7800 XT[/caption] In the period from September 4 to September 10, the RX 7800 XT was the best-selling video card online. At the same time, let us remind you that sales of new AMD products started on September 6. Thus, 650 RX 7800 XT video cards were sold in five days. For comparison: the RTX 4070 is in second place with a result of 500 adapters, and the top three are closed by the RX 7900 XTX, of which 390 units were sold. The new Radeon RX 7800 XT became a hit in the first week of sales on the Mindfactory network [caption id="attachment_54830" align="aligncenter" width="162"] Radeon RX 7800 XT[/caption] The RX 7700 XT has much more modest success: 55 cards and 18th place. But this can easily be explained by the fact that the RX 7800 XT is only slightly more expensive, but is also noticeably better. The best-selling adapters in the model classification were the XFX RX 7800 XT Black Gaming, MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X OC, and XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Speedster MERC 319 adapters.

Although much cheaper at the start Yesterday we learned that the Radeon RX 7700 XT will be slightly faster than the RX 6800 , and at the same time we suggested that the RX 7800 XT will not be much faster than the RX 6800 XT. It turned out that for the first the situation is even worse. [caption id="attachment_50760" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4060 Ti[/caption] According to well-known insider kopite7kimi, the RX 7800 XT scores about 19,000 points in 3DMark Time Spy. And this is about the level of the RX 6800 XT. According to the aggregate data of numerous tests on the official 3DMark website, the RX 6800 XT boasts an average score of 19,277 points. That is, the new generation card will be exactly at the level of the old generation card. Yes, the first one may formally be a little faster, but overall this does not change the picture. Will the Radeon RX 7800 XT follow in the footsteps of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti? [caption id="attachment_50761" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4060 Ti[/caption] For AMD, this situation is clearly not very profitable. The RX 7700 XT looks good compared to its predecessor. The new model starts at a slightly lower price and is significantly faster. But the RX 7800 XT is not ahead of its predecessor. But here you need to understand that AMD's new products are as close to each other as possible. That is, the RX 7700 XT, judging by the parameters, should rather be called the RX 7800. It's also worth noting that the RX 7800 XT starts at $500, meaning it's only slightly more expensive than the RX 6700 XT at launch, while the RX 6800 XT started at $650. True, right now the latter costs just about $500, which is what they are asking for for the new generation.
