New information about the highly anticipated PS5 Slim has been revealed today, including a more precise date and possible retail price. According to reliable sources, this console is expected to hit the market later this year witha price tag of $399.99..
Although no exact release date is mentioned in the document, previous rumors have pointed to a launch between September and December. As for price, reports agree on a $100 reduction for this version of the PS5 Slim.
One of the most interesting developments is that the PS5 Slim could feature a new form factor that will include a removable optical drive. This would allow Sony to unify the design and production of the two current versions, one without optical drive and one with it. The price of $399.99 would correspond to the model with optical drive, otherwise Sony would maintain the current prices.
In terms of power, no significant differences are expected. However, it is rumored that the PS5 Slim could use a 5 nm manufacturing node in its APU, while the current version uses a 6 nm node. This change would allow for improved efficiency and temperature, and further simplify the cooling system, which would reduce production costs and improve profit margins.
These new features are exciting for console gaming fans, as the PS5 Slim promises a high-quality gaming experience at a more affordable price.
