Does anyone have figures for its idle or standby power? My CFI-1200 PS5 idles at about 51 W and has a 3 W standby power consumption. Video Playback uses about 72 W.

Thats about in line with what my PC did at idle with a 3900x and the 3080.

This is a zen 2 APU, we are currently on zen 5 for desktop CPUs. What specific technology are you referring to?

Wait for a Strix Halo mini PC, then. It will have a comparable GPU to the base PS5, a much more powerful CPU and a 256-bit memory datapath. The main downside will be that LPDDR5 will still offer only about half as much bandwidth as the PS5's GDDR6.

Why is it I get the impression they're trying real hard to sell us something we really don't need? I'm still not sold on a PS5 Pro when even Sony admitted that we are at the end of the PS5 lifecycle. This would have been a better sell if it was released a year ago and for $599, $100 more than the base PS5 with a disc drive included.
