I don’t read many Wired pieces but maybe I should change that. Their Xbox One expose was impressive but this PlayStation 4 teardown complete with video was something else.
Having the engineer take apart the PlayStation 4 console piece by piece and explain the details and nuances of the major components was both informative and enlightening. I wish the engineer divulged more detail and I wish there were higher resolution photos of the motherboard, chips and other components.
Still, even after watching the video, I have so many questions:
- What is the temperature of the APU at full load?
- Is that a dual band 802.11n radio?
- Does the aluminum shield also serve additional heat dissipator?
- Do we need to go through that many steps to replace the hard drive?
Hopefully we’ll get those answered at around launch time.
