Thank you for the correction! I thought it was like the PS3 where there was different hardware inside the different models. Well, some of them.
…but wait, if all the internals are the same size, why wasn’t the regular one the size of the Slim? Is it just space from having the disc drive removed?
Why? - They simply redesigned the motherboard (to make it smaller and more efficient, produces less heat), they used a 6nm chip instead of a 7nm chip (same power, but less heat generated), they oped for a more passive cooling solution.
Im a pc user, and the pc world is still a lot more complex than just “regular, slim and pro” versions. Different hardware and combinations males it a lot more complex.
You could say “low, medium and high end pc” but that means nothing as even a medium pc could have different cpu’s, gpu’s or even ram timings…

They have what, 3 variants of the console? Regular, Slim, Pro?
Meanwhile on PC…
No. They have 1 model with 2 cases. They use the same internal components, but the slim has a more compact cooling solution.
Only difference specs-wise is that the Slim has a ~1 TB SSD compared to the ~850 GB SSD

Sorry for the late answer!
The slim uses 300 W, the normal one 350W.
Why? - They simply redesigned the motherboard (to make it smaller and more efficient, produces less heat), they used a 6nm chip instead of a 7nm chip (same power, but less heat generated), they oped for a more passive cooling solution.
Is changing the one chip enough to count it as separate hardware to test?
Not to mention that different cooling capabilities could result in different performance, too.
They only have 2 currently.
Pro isn’t out yet.
They’re probably testing on it though
Probably even more so than what’s currently in people’s hands, based on the news article here. lol

But yes, the different console versions is stupid
Yes, that was my point, haha
