Pictures of PS5 Slim internals
PlayStation hardware Hacker Abkarino has shared some pictures of the new PS5, “PS5 slim” (CFI-2000), including its motherboard and external Disc drive.
What is the PS5 Slim
The PS5 Slim is a new model of the PS5. It’s been a bit controversial due to the Disc Drive now being a removable accessory for the console. It seems there won’t be a “Disc Edition” and a “Digital Edition” moving forward, only a Digital Edition that can be extended with a Disc Drive (in some cases however, Sony sell the console with a pre-mounted Disc Drive).
Unsurprisingly due to size changes, the PS5 Slim whips with a new hardware revision of the motherboard, model CFI-2xxx. The former generation was CFI-1xxx, with 3 different minor revisions, CFI-10xx, CFI11-xx, and CFI12-xx. (CFI-10xx and CFI11-xx technically being the only hackable models at the moment, not due to hardware restrictions, but the Firmware they come preinstalled with. Details here)
The PS5 Slim is already in stock at multiple retailers.

strip down that PS5 baby ! Sony system revisions aren’t necessarily better they tend to be less durable in an effort to cut expenses in my opinion
Totally agree with you. They did the same thing with PS2, PS3, PS4. I know many will disagree with PS4 Slim as it was sleek and redesigned with new wifi chip and power unit, but Sony introduced an inferior bluray drive in PS4 Slim.
I did like the PS4 Slim. But I think you folks are right.
Sony’s so called hardware revision are just gimmick and nothing else. They clearly cut the cost of manufacturing the original PS5. Now PS5 Slim will have less manufacturing cost. But they intentionally increased the retail price so that people will think it’s a slightly costly machine due to revision of the hardware -typical Sony tactics
This website has been my go to for news for years now, However, the amount of ads and popups makes it almost unusable now.
Please feel free to use an ad blocker (and if you feel like it instead, please consider donating a bit when the “support” popup shows up). I’m not happy about the state of ads either but I have little to no control on it nowadays, it’s for the most part automated by Google.
