PS4 teardown video shows what's under the hood
This video, courtesy of Wired, shows the first 'teardown' of the PlayStation 4, showing all its inner workings.
This isn't any amateur teardown where some knob pre-orders a PS4 and forces it open with a sledgehammer, though. This is the real deal.
The video is hosted by Sony engineering director Yasuhiro Ootori, who knows the console inside-out. There's no speculation or "I wonder if this is the RAM" rubbish here - everything Ootori-san says is 100 per cent fact.
In August, when Sony announced a PS4 release date of November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe, the company said more than one million PS4 pre-orders had been placed worldwide.

It's pretty cool how Sony hosted their own video of the PS4 console teardown. Doesn't look difficult at all to dismantle.

ZENU96 That's a lot of parts for a console, really cool that it almost has the same capabilities as a pc.
A console is pretty much a compacted PC.. It still requires all of the same components (power supply, graphics card, processor, RAM etc.)

661King Nice. Although that CPU has me worried. Did they use thermal paste or thermal pads? That CPU looked too clean for thermal paste, but on the heatsink side, it had white residue?
It has thermal paste, you can see it when he first pulls the motherboard out. They likely cleaned it off or used a fresh board to make it look nicer for the video.

it could just be when it gets hot the paste molds to the CPU so it has full coverage

daRealRush How did they get the power supply to actually fit into the console itself?
They use a slim power supply, that sits in the back of the console.
