Ben Heck's PlayStation 4 Teardown

[@WeaponsGG]

your intro was the most 90's internet era thing i have seen in 2016

[@10ToesDownWithBass]

i was thinking the EXACT same thing

[@HassanPoyo]

+Ratchet same lol its cringe

[@10ToesDownWithBass]

+hassan nassar reminds me of bill nye the science guy in a way

[@MrSlashStudios]

I fucking love it

[@emmanuelcuh9653]

+Ratchet lmao

[@ryanleroux2770]

wow, that intro was super awkward

[@Internet_Guy99]

Ikr

[@Billum01]

All of the intros for this show are pretty awkward.

[@josegamitoPT420]

***** f u

[@ivanbenja4]

They did what had to be done.

[@TheRealMystermaN]

Reminded me of cheap pornmovie.

[@MrMegaMario64]

It surprises me how much he knows. I wish I could be a tech guru.

[@ManofLowMoralFiber]

That cooling system looks really pathetic.

[@anglovarangoi9176]

It is a console. EDIT: 69 plus ones, huehuehueh!

[@iModFrenzy]

The RROD is coming back :P

[@anglovarangoi9176]

***** Nah I'll just stick with my FAR superior PC.

[@anglovarangoi9176]

***** Yep and we all know how good sex is.

[@anglovarangoi9176]

***** Yep. The only console it really felt good to own was the ps2 and that was only because of ace combat 4, 5 and 0. P.S GabeN.

[@El1988Che]

GDDR5 is not DDR5!!! GDDR5 is DDR3 optimized for graphical operations...

[@element14presents]

El1988Che :D

[@totalynotayoutuber_5738]

El1988Che I thought GDDR5 was more closely related to DDR4 or is that horribly wrong

[@El1988Che]

TotalyNotAKZbinr _ The HD 4870 (a 2008 card) was already using GDDR5... It makes it impossible to be based on DDR4, when DDR3 was barely making into the mainstream market. So, yes, GDDR5 is DDR3 optimized for graphic processing, nothing more.

[@Supermanohman]

El1988Che omfg don't have a cow it's no big deal.

[@El1988Che]

Vic Vinegar I never said it was a big deal...

[@garmo1968]

this is like a PS4 EXTREME unboxing video

[@jedixo]

'playstation 4, held together by magic' made my laugh way too much

[@deadmanssuit]

This is all fine and dandy, but does it have blast processing?

[@Crlarl]

Does it do what Nintendon't?

[@Crlarl]

***** They didn't fix it so scientists can exploit the bug by making it go 88 mph.

[@noonecares7397]

Carl Siemens is that a left rights reference? goddamn i like you (Genesis- "sega does what ninten-fucking-don't")

[@youweechube]

Its amazing how they get pretty much everything on the main board. Thats pretty much the whole machine right there, yet the unit is so much bigger because of the cooling, HDD and blu ray.

[@ovais909]

The fact that the ps4 has the brick inside the console is enough proof how better engineered the ps4 is compared to Xbone

[@stefans4562]

xbox one s has it internally, too. microsoft was more concerned about overheating so they played it safe. The playstation however is much louder than the xbox one due to it's little fast spinning fan and little space for air.

[@ovais909]

Xbox one S is a different story we'll compare that to ps4 slim While its true ps4 is alittle louder but just think how Quiet and smaller in size the Ps4 would be had sonys engineers put the brick out side the Ps4

[@stefans4562]

True, xbox one s is 3 years newer, that wouldn't be fair. I think the main reason why the ps4 is a little louder and gets loud quicker is the smaller fan and less air in the console. The ps4 sucks air through its body like a vacuum cleaner. A lot of air through little room means fast air and a fast fan. Ps4 looks so much nicer next to a tv though. It's just a little loud when it's hot in the room and you want to watch movies with it.

[@taquitodebuchev8435]

+Stefan S just say it.... it's a piece of shit!

[@gmoney7912]

Ovais Saand it doesn't make it better it makes it hotter did you ever touch the transformer block it holds a lot of heat I hate that thing it always getsin the way but I'd rather have it on the outside so my cpu last alot longer

[@redtails]

Cool teardown. the console looks easily repairable by the end-user. It was a nice touch to have a separate flap for the harddrive space, so you're not breaking the warranty when replacing the hdd. Cooling seems a bit dubious, though I guess Sony made a couple of compromises on the overall size of the unit, the necessity of a power brick, temperature under load and noise.

[@swsws7]

actually, the cooling is much more efficient than the XBone, the unit is built into the frame rather than an individual unit, which cools efficiently being small at the same time.

[@redtails]

Sean Williams I'm not sure what you meant by "efficiently". Due to the compactness, the smaller fan and the internal power supply, the PS4 runs an average 10-25°C warmer than the xbox one. Whether or not that is going to affect its longevity I'm not sure, but it is definitely more prone to overheating as it ages or when the fan starts deteriorating with dust and hairs.

[@Jrenyar]

***** Don't forget to mention that the fan is also aiming downwards, so that it's blowing heat against a surface, which if you have had a laptop with a fan like that, you'd know it can be more prone to overheating.

[@redtails]

Jrenyar I think the fan blows air sideways, out of the back of the unit, but I'm not sure about this. A lot of modern fan-designs are different from the ones in the past. Previous fan designs indeed all blow air perpendicular to their own rotation, but a lot of modern compact fans blow horizontally across their rotation plane. Again, I'm not sure if the PS3's fan does this or not

[@Jrenyar]

***** Even if they have a sideways blow, when a fan points down, it will still blow down at least a little bit, which would still have a heating problem, even some modern laptops have the problem shamefully enough. I think that's why Ben sounded a little surprised when he saw the fan pointing downwards.

[@takkitakkiproduction]

You could see upcoming videos on the whiteboard @0.27

[@thatguyb3rt]

I saw that, Portable ouya ey?

[@Tenocticatl]

cjwolfer Wouldn't a portable ouya basically just be a tablet or something? Ouya uses a tegra 3 processor, right?

[@thatguyb3rt]

Tenocticatl Well yeah it uses a tegra 3, You might as well use a tablet with a ds3 controller. I'm just interested to see what he does to the Ouya, There aren't many in depth hacks to the Ouya yet. Well I should better write that out, There are plenty of hacks people have done on the Ouya forums but not anything done on video.

[@thatguyb3rt]

Erwin Ried I think he just means part 2 on the minecraft redstone ;)

[@terrellwright7565]

At 4:36 you mentioned UNCHARTED, so I'm sure you know what you're talking about!

[@bestbuildpc]

This is the first video I watched where a guy goes deep into the chips explaining everything. Wow! Nice from you. Thank u again.

[@rjc862003]

The chip you pointout @ 13:30 is not a northbridge its the secondary ARM processor APU's don't have a separate Northbridge its all on chip the reasion for the interconnectivity is that the custom ARM chip that handles background stuff such as video encoding needs direct access to system ram the smaller chip is not eprom but a DDR3 module for the ARM chip its a 2GB chip the SPI chip is on the upper left at 13:33

[@bigcat12354]

11:26 I hope he meant GDDR5 not ddr5

[@JunKurosu]

Yes its GDDR5

[@paburrito]

this guy knows how to actually apply the reverse engineering to do his stuff :D mad props to him

[@Aerox90]

2:15 🤣

[@epilouge1]

the entire video sounds like he needs to clear his throat badly.

[@T3Beatz]

"PlayStation 4... Held together by magic" xD. You just earned a new subscriber, sir!

[@masonkane5884]

Thank you Ben Heck. I used to take every piece of electronics I bought apart, just out of curiosity. Now I can watch you do it with ZERO risk to my device. :)

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

heh i guess the PS4 really is more powerful than the X1 overall

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

ap72sentinal whats with the "duh"? you dont know just how hypocrite microstuff can be, they could easily have sneaked different specs at the last moment

[@BranTheMan2PK]

xGoodOldSmurfehx lol ass backwards

[@FF-cl1wl]

xGoodOldSmurfehx dont worry they're just fanboys dont listen to fanboys.. they just wanna fight you and make u feel bad ;(

[@JustinsRealmMC]

Yet X1 is focused on multimedia. Your choice if you want gaming or multimedia

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

***** agreed, so far my PC is also the best choice, im gonna buy a PS4 but im sure as hell going to use my new PC more its obvious ...unless maybe Bungie's Destiny manages to make me go DEEERP like it did back in the day :)

[@AntiKipKay]

Should I get a PS4 or an XBOXOne? I heard the xboxone can't perform as good as the ps4 ... is that right?

[@xphenomskillsx5896]

Xbox is better

[@AntiKipKay]

XPHENOM SKILLSX Thanks for your feedback. TBH I think I'll just get both. Buy a few busted up ones on ebay and repair them.

[@xphenomskillsx5896]

Trust me I just got the xbox 1 last week I'm loving it and how does size and looks matter for gaming? We get more exclusives, we don't get hacked like ps4 servers are always down, we get dlc one month earlier. Now its up to you.

[@AntiKipKay]

XPHENOM SKILLSX I'll definitely consider it then. But I'm the kinda guy that hates to choose lol I got both the ps3 and the 360. However there is one company I will no longer buy from and that's nintendo. They messed up way too much for me.

[@xphenomskillsx5896]

If you have the money then go for it.

[@DjStiv3]

so if the xbox HD is not upgradeable, what happens when you remove the hd and pop it back in? just to see what happens? also what if you put in a smaller 250gb hd for instance...? im curious.. ps4 ftw

[@DjStiv3]

spence120 - FMC i know the ps3 does not benefit at all from a 7200rpm drive as its not tailored to be read by them from what i understand... so with that in mind, and knowing sony.... i highly doubt the ps4 takes advantage either... i mean theres no point in doing so, however if you want speed, you should always go with an SSD, otherwise you are just brainwashing yourself into thinking theres a huge enough change to warrant a new HD when there really isnt

[@DjStiv3]

spence120 - FMC well on ps4 at least i dont see much of a change... especially when you can pop in a dsic and play unless theres an update you wannt to download.. but if not then you can pop it in and just play right off the bat... meanwhile it installs to your HD in full.. so what time will i spend waiting? 5 seconds at the load screen while it installs the important key files so i can play before the rest of the game? im good id rather save my money for something else

[@BudKingUK]

It will barely increase r/w speeds as ps4 is still using sata 2, price for performance will just be a waste

[@XxDevilxKingxX1]

You can upgrade xbox one hard drive but it counts as modding and voids warranty, I don't care because I did it and now I have a 2 TB hard drive on my xbox

[@DjStiv3]

Marcos Santana pretty sure xb1, just like ps4, uses the sata laptop drives, and they max out at 1.5tb, i havent seen and 2tbs out there, so i gotta say that comment is crap, find me some links of a 2tb and show a vid of xbox, im pretty sure sonys doesnt allow it tho it has a max too

[@RICHL74]

At 10:15 there's a nice shot of the hard drive bay. Now if I took a cutter and cut that bit of metal surrounding it out, could I use a 4tb 15mm hard drive in it without forcing the bigger hard drive in like I've seen in some other videos?

[@LambDan_]

Back in the day, consoles like the N64 and PS1 weren't compared to computers and were judged solely on games and not graphical fidelity. Where did we go wrong?

[@ShadowriverUB]

Back then PC was just starting to be more serious in games, before that it was mainly office platform and other microcomputers that had superior multimedia components (like Amiga) did better job in games (sometimes better than consoles).Don't be fooled by PC fanboys saying that PC always dominated gaming, which is false. One of the reasons why people still use Consoles is a lot longer legacy that people are used to and PC is missing (well maybe except office software :p)

[@universe4839]

Well, I remember when the ps1 first came around, the amazing graphics was the number one thing that people were talking about. People cared about graphics back then too, it's just that the console/PC war was not much of a thing.

[@ShadowriverUB]

***** Hehe, good trick trying attach "PC" label at the end of the name of a platfrom XD Commodore 64 (and beyond that) is a platfrom of it's own, and its dead long time ago, PC you got today is evolution of IBM PC (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer), it's called PC because platform it self was called PC. My first computer was Commodore Amiga 500+, which co-existed with PC in 90s... and i really could not call my Amiga a PC back then because it was complitly different platform incompatible to eachother and it would confuse people. Not to mention back then there was not only Commodore and PC there was ton of other microcomputers incompatible to eachother, like we got few consoles today and people call those "computers" or sometimes "micro-computers" (as ideology of it was to shrink first room size computers in to small box, thats why they been called "micro"), IBM PC simply won this war due to openness and expantibility, so much open it was no point of making something else, to level that people forgot that PC was a invidual platfrom, every manufacture simply started to make a PC hardware or left the market. IBM PC it self was for long time mainly office computer and other microcomputer did a lot better job in graphics (like mentioned Commodore 64 or Amiga which was a machine ahead of it's time), but when PC started to catch up it openness and blew everything else..

[@masterdelrap]

MY PS3 GOT THE BLINKING RED LIGHT

[@MoreNimrod]

Could you upgrade the PS4 with any brand HDD? Provided it's 7200rpm and 2.5" like a laptop hard drive, of course, to match the Samsung one that's inside. But could you put a different brand in there and would it work? And is it possible to put an SSD or similar in? Would that have any effect? If anyone can help me out with that would be super appreciated!

[@element14presents]

Hi Dennis! You might find a better audience to your question on the Ben Heck Show Community : ow.ly/FgstW

[@MoreNimrod]

The Ben Heck Show Thank you, sir! I'll make sure to spend some time on there.

[@IamEld3st]

Dennis Z you can put any 2.5" drive inside SSD HDD sítě dont matter and brand dont matter

[@MoreNimrod]

IamEld3st It'll take some courage for me to cough up the money but I do want to experiment with it. Thank you.

[@MoreNimrod]

gtileo True, but since you're going to download many more games than last gen (and I downloaded quite a few on my Xbox 360!) you're also going to want storage space. And a good size SSD is very expensive, maybe a lot more than the PS4 itself. So I might check if there are people interested in that, buying a PS4 with a small but fast SSD, or rather a regular HDD with more storage space.

[@Daimomaru]

This looks and sounds like an 80's TV show.

[@DN-zn2li]

12:31 -> GDDR5 , not the DDR3 , ben! DDR3 is the "central RAM" , but the GDDR5 are build with the GPU. ;)

[@AndreiAldea]

Thank you! We have someone else that knows their stuff!

[@clamo6362]

***** actually no. ddr and gddr are the same thing. cause they do use ddr3 on gpu's to. they also have used ddr 1,2 on gpu's in the past. the G is just to try and add confusion for some reason.

[@DN-zn2li]

yea technically it's the same thing , but not really..

[@sauron1427]

Grey Pearl in this console they used gddr5 INSTEAD of ddr3 for system memory, meaning for both cpu and gpu. gddr is basically ddr, but the design of it is slightly different so you need a cpu that supports it.

[@clamo6362]

yep BUT that's all it means. the ram remains the same. do some research.

[@MMasterDE]

Fan facing down is new? I thought that was a common practice when it comes to laptops.

[@fr36r1k]

Well, then again. This isn't a laptop, but a playstation/console.

[@AndreiAldea]

Fredrik Wikestad Well its a x86 PC technically so.....

[@fr36r1k]

***** Then again, consoles, stationary/laptops, mobile phones and more can fall under the definition of a PC. But the design, OS, hardware and purpose is what defines the product ;)

[@mikaeldalc]

The acting scenes in this video are top notch lol

[@element14presents]

If I'm not building something, I'm reading Great Monologues in Dialect for Young Actors. Obviously :)

[@yetiyo0011]

The Ben Heck Show Portable PS4!

[@GeoDelGonzo]

Every time I see a teardown of the PS4, it makes me want to buy one. The construction is ingenious and minimal, I really wonder whose responsible for the design decisions.

[@0Leonx0]

Check out the Playstation 4 Press Conference where they reveal the PS4 and the guy who designed the PS4.

[@krytonic0]

Yeah this generation, the PS4 architect is someone else. First time he has designed a console and he did a very good job!

[@sopascat7]

@ Ben Heck, how do folks change the little round battery when it runs out (13:10) ?

[@CadillacticBean]

It'd be cool if someone put the PS4 internal parts into a PS2 casing. A PS4 that has the looks of a PS2. I don't even think it could fit in the PS2. Would it?

[@yedr8306]

GuyThatCommentsVids if u used the ps2 the fat original one. Yes it would fit

[@shmookins]

Genius! I haven't thought about that. The Tower of Power PS2 design is a classic and I'd love to get a PS4 that looks like it (and I certainly wouldn't mind the PS2's boot visuals and sound, too).

[@shmookins]

5awie All Playstations have internal PSU- except the very tiny super slim PS2, I think.

[@C4mpblor]

This show is so painfully cheesy at times

[@ObiGamers]

Actual release date: November 15th, 2020

[@MegaFIare]

xjakekyrianx he means that's how next gen it is

[@ObiGamers]

xjakekyrianx It Is the New PS5 (PlayStation 5) Console release date

[@Jrenyar]

***** You're being a bit generous with that guess of the new PS5 release date, I'm gonna go for between 2018-2019. Since this new gen of consoles just don't have that much to improve, sure graphics could be improved a little, but that 60fps everyone was foolish enough to believe from the developers is bullshit lol

[@ObiGamers]

Jrenyar Well, This is a Leaked Sony release date I found since June 8th or maybe this is fans real guess for the PS5 Release

[@Jrenyar]

***** It's more likely to be a fan guess, since I doubt Sony would start planning to release a brand new console right after an already new release. it makes no real sense since they probably don't even have the tech they want to put into the new console. Also the guess sounds as if it was a guess from the time difference between the ps3 and ps4. Which would not be correct any more. Since when the ps3 came out, the tech in that was pretty brand new, so they had years upon years to get the best out of it, whilst the tech in ps4 and xbone is already pretty old. So it only has maybe 4-5 years left until they need to release a new console lol.

[@ethernalburger5668]

This is a Beginning of new Top KZbin Channel Keep up!! Great Vid!

[@enriquefilm2947]

@ 12:06 the black cube had some melted substance on mine what does that mean exactly

[@MCSinge101]

Ben Heck, 2 things 1: the ps4 has GDDR5 ram 2: That was not a back USB port It was for extensions i.e. Playstation camera

[@MrAlvinhall]

Playstation4pro tear down

[@masterdelrap]

i loved this ps4 tear down

[@Option42B]

7:50 is that two people kissing?

[@Katie_the_fox]

I found this show and was pleasantly surprised.

[@BeefIngot]

12:45. I think thats a bit of a slip up. 8x 512 doesnt =8

[@FeralSparky]

There are 8 chips on both sides of the board, so 16 chip's total

[@BeefIngot]

Thomas Gregoire Yes, I know, but he said 8 which was misleading.

[@FeralSparky]

12:35 He say's "There's 8 of these on each side" :)

[@BeefIngot]

Thomas Gregoire Seems i missed the on each side bit. My mistake in that case.

[@FeralSparky]

No problem, happens to me as well. Were only human, error's are to be expected.

[@AdamAus85]

Woah, Sony beats Microsoft easy for design under there.

[@nedas51]

I agree.

[@JunKurosu]

Sony has engineers that know their work

[@lightupdarkness]

[@JunKurosu]

Joselito Pancho What are you talking about?

[@SlaughterCS]

Joselito Pancho First Xbox 360 I had red ringed, 2nd one did, and I didn't bother to buy a 3rd

[@FroddeB]

How come the Xbox One be so thick! I doesn't even have an internal power supply. What he actual fuck.

[@MultiTiernan]

I believe it's to avoid over-heating

[@JMNTN]

No its to save costs since mi€ro$oft doesn't like to spend money

[@FroddeB]

Greg The Dreg Yeah, though it is not like there wasn't enough space in it for air and an internal power supply.

[@Ge0rGi.]

***** Microsoft=software company Sony=hardware company

[@fulgore5307]

To prevent it from over heating its big and ugly but it stays cool and quiet, the ps4 reaches high temperatures and is pretty loud

[@MrTruckDriver]

but will it blend ?

[@georgeeden5835]

Could it maybe even be midi as I know an app on the iPad works but I can't pay for a lighting controller they are too expensive for me

[@georgeeden5835]

Can you please make an led light and console with faders that plug into the main also with momentarily buttons ps please tell me any thoughts

[@SgtSayWhat]

I think he means GDDR5 ram. Thats graphics ram DDR ram is like PC ram and its max is DDR3

[@SgtSayWhat]

Makes alot more sense

[@redtails]

you're right, he did mean gddr 5 ^^

[@floralpoboop]

xboxone & ps4 same harddrive? CONSPIRACY CONFRIMED... They are working together to force gamers to pay to play online multiplayer...

[@niazali4845]

so what will happen if you put a ps4 hard drive into a xbox 1 or a xbox1's hard drive into a ps4

[@johnbergstrom7045]

Niaz Ali you just have to format them, they are IDENTICAL.. ..

[@floralpoboop]

***** ps4 uses ext4 or ext3, xbone uses NTFS. You can use NTFS formatted drives and storage devices with the ps4 how ever because of the already existing drivers to utilize NTFS functionality in the linux distribution they used for the OS, same thing with the ps3. The xbone how ever I don't think can operate with ext4 formatted partitions without additional software which is not on the xbone. You would have to hack/modify the system in order to do so which shouldn't be too hard since xbone uses a modified windows 8 os.

[@WizardNumberNext]

Niaz Ali if things are still as they have been at the time of PS3 - nothing PS3 had encrypted drive. And even if not encryption, then PS3 use FFS, which is outside of microsoft grip (they even cannot do ext2 or reiserfs)

[@GhoST-ve5gl]

i watch all the video in i dont understand what he was talking about but it was fun :D

[@CorpoPsycho]

Do you know what a Blower is?

[@Designathan]

von Habsburg yeah. ill just say ive lost a lot of money

[@johnbergstrom7045]

the custom chip next to the Northbridge is a Secondary CPU for background tasks and Downloading stuff when the ps4 is on standby...

[@steprockmedia]

When you started tearing into it I thought, "NO!!! Not the PS4 you monster!" But by the end, all I could think was "Unboxing videos are for wusses." Thanks for the insight.

[@LorenzoBlade]

When some one tell you PC is the master race and it's better they leave something out, PC guys take more time fixing problems that come up then playing games, where on the other hand the only problem you have on the consoles is you have to wake up from your sofa to change the CD.

[@bul188]

Yeah, playing at 4k resolution on max settings with the latest triple A games is fucking shit compared to all the screws you have to screw in and plugs you have to plug in. EUGH FUCKING PCS, THEY SHIT.

[@koekipper3757]

You can bet that sooner or later someone's going to slam an SSD in there...

[@bigbeefposter]

Why not?lol

[@Billum01]

Randolph White Please leave and never come back.

[@JustinsRealmMC]

Doubt... SSD doesn't affect much of the performance of the PS4. Most of the files are just placed on the blu-ray player instead of the internal storage. Thus, ssd costs alot more than 2.5" drives... Not recommended. Unless you are running a downloaded game.

[@koekipper3757]

Good point. Still, the system does install at least SOME files - it probably would speed up loading times, and games like Galak-Z would certainly get a speed boost. An SSD would be more like an experiment than anything else. Though SSDs are certainly getting cheaper and cheaper, the 250 to 500 GB ones, anyway. One problem though - does the PS4 defragment itself?

[@sickley2]

Sean Willmore If you're downloading your games instead of buying them on discs I imagine it would have a pretty big boost in performance!

[@DannyDelusion]

Blade towards you when you remove the stickers? Thats how you lose fingers.

[@1234macro]

Not really...

[@janxhussain9321]

What a guy, followed his tear down and repaired my PS4.

[@doughnutman5129]

Could you move the graphics and ram from ps4 and put it into a xbox one?

[@omarzapata1777]

U would have to remove the mother board from the Xbox one. Enable to do that

[@ThePointGrabber]

No.

[@cornytheman]

please noob learn technic pc, omg just read a article or watch a video before opening your mounth and saying dumb shit that is very unessecary. no you simply cannot do this becus its a CONSOLE , PC is different if you build it.... your welcome

[@Option42B]

i want a ps4/xbox/wii hybrid... i need something to put my feet on while playing pc...

[@krytonic0]

Chronosphere Steen There is no such thing as a dumb question there is only dumb answers."Opening your mouth" and asking questions is a great way to learn. Take your head out of your own ass.

[@nullwii]

After watching the PS4 and the XBONE being torn down, I am even less interested in overpaying for outdated hardware

[@Rumblefan]

They are more powerful than wii u, and way more powerful than ps3 and xbox 360. The only exception is if you're a pc gamer.

[@duffy3214]

CorkyBurrito pssst, im guessing he's a pc gamer

[@nullwii]

Not at all, I own about 34 home consoles not to mention handhelds My comment was in regards to the hardware already being way behind computing standards

[@MyBrothersMario]

CorkyBurrito Yes they are more powerful than 9 year old consoles, that doesn't change the fact that it's still outdated hardware.

[@nullwii]

Incandescent EXACTLY

[@TheSterlingArcher16]

Please make a PS4 laptop!

[@iamtragos]

It's quite shocking how far ahead PS4 tech wise is compared to the Xbone ....

[@djsndcx]

lol Xbone, combination of xbox one

[@imagoatbah]

The consoles are so similar under the hood it's funny that you'd say that. This console gen sees by far the most similarity between the consoles hardware wise ever. The biggest differences are the software.

[@soviut]

Who cares, unless you're in college you can probably afford both.

[@iamtragos]

wanswers Well PS4 hasn't a weak ass 7770 inside , or cheap DDR3 .... so no , they are not similar at all.

[@soviut]

***** Considering neither has any decent games it's all moot.

[@DerUnbekannte]

just don't do the "acting" scenes anymore, that stuff is terrible.

[@xzolar8809]

[@CommanderKingpin]

Hey Ben can You build a PC a ps4 and a xbox one in one case That would be awsome

[@Justecreatif]

What type of driver did you start using at the time 4:06??

[@isaacleighton5437]

Ben the speaker isn't for listening to games. That sort of speaker has been in computers for a long long time. It is for error codes in the event the system doesn't function correctly and needs to be repaired. It is a good thing to have.

[@TacoNissan]

+Isaac Leighton he knows that. Most computers don't have one, so he was surprised.

[@samuelhumphreys7712]

I used a hammer personally.

[@Rishabh9957]

lol mate

[@WayToManyAssassins]

Humsamuel I use a wrecking ball

[@waltercomunello121]

yup, might be faster.

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

I like this dude

[@d1zguy864]

I fucking hate 5400 RPM drives. it's 2015 stop making, selling and using that shit in new products. I don't care how cheap the device is. It slows down any decent PC to a CRAWL!

[@Cosmic__Radiation]

+dbza Raid 0 that Sh@t!

[@ahmedzain6362]

+dbza are you stupid what do you want them to give you

[@d1zguy864]

7200RPM hard drives minimum

[@ahmedzain6362]

+dbza uh sorry i though you are talking about some kind of a memory like the phones or sdd instead of a hdd, yh truly it will help alot if it was 7400rpm

[@d1zguy864]

Ahmed Zain np I was talking about laptops that still come with slow shitty 5400 rpm drives

[@Blackkatt]

Thnx for doing this. Was interesting to see the insides of my console.

[@gnarly0531]

+Michael Blackkatt thats what she said!

[@Technoguy3]

I LOVE the Wii's slot-loading drive. I've yet to use a slot-loader as nice and buttery smooth as that one. If only it worked with DVDs and Blu-Rays...

[@xxpcgamerxxpc6700]

LESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tomjohnson6825]

Sony and Microsoft should come together to create (Playstation X) Xbox plus playstation and it should have 10000MB of Memory. And should have 4K HD RETINA AND LED DISPLAY pluss runs all xbox 360&xbox one and ps1 ps2 and ps3 ps4. Games all old games should be remastered to 1080p and the PlayStation X should have an eco friendly Tesla Electrified gaming engine.

[@evildeed90s]

tom johnson that will never happen unless sony buys the rights of producing consoles from xbox or xbox buys sony. just enjoy gaming whiles its still a console war because when its no competition left they will be able to do anything like DRM always online getting rid of disks and making crap games. whiles its still competition we should be safe from that.

[@MrHambal24]

+tom johnson damn your stupid

[@legeneral1594]

annnd the price is going to be jaw dropping ;)

[@Cynt3r]

Wow, your parents shouldn't let you get on the internet, you're way too young. I'm not gonna bash you too hard because your entire comment was ridiculous but seriously... 10000MB = 10GB, that's going to last...

[@berd1950]

Still can't believe that the Xbox one and ps4, have amd hardware. I was expecting a good nvidia GPU.

[@Goddy4KT]

Is it me or did I enjoy watching him remove the PS4 apart ??

[@patx35]

13:55 He mistakenly said the the secondary ARM processor is the encoder chip.

[@xmenwolverineX]

At least he recorded the tear down. Now all he has to do is rewind it to put it back together. Good thinking.

[@Thorogrimm]

Why can't companies just make a console equal to a medium/high-end PC?

[@deneb_tm]

To keep the price as low as possible.

[@redtails]

What part of the PS4 is different from a medium/high-end PC?

[@Thorogrimm]

***** The fact that it doesn't exactly perform as well as a PC would.

[@redtails]

The Jolly Good Jester what do you mean by "perform as well as a PC"? PS4 has about the same graphic performance as a GTX660, though which much beefier memory speeds. You currently can't build a cheaper computer with better specs.

[@Thorogrimm]

***** Good point, I do agree that you can't really complain since it would be a mid-range PC. But what I mean is a home console that has top-PC grade specs. Probably what the Steambox is going to aim for?

[@COLINATORUK]

Wow Sony designed their console so much better than Microsoft. It seems ridiculous that Xbox one runs hotter is way larger and u still have an external power brick. All in the name of extra profit . Sony build something properly then worry about pricing later. Seems Microsoft try and screw customers anyway possible with weaker hardware and poor design. Plus the whole initial fiasco over not being able to trade games and making kinect mandatory . which was only rectified after consumer backlash. I surpose what I'm trying to say is Microsoft really gives it customers the middle finger lol. And for PC users remember vista that was a middle finger to us from Microsoft to so overpriced and ran like crap.

[@MoreNimrod]

From what I heard the Xbox One does cool better actually (it does have a massive heat sink and lots of space for airflow) but I also haven't heard of the heat a PS4 generates having any negative effects or anything.

[@JAGUARCD32X]

So where are you getting the information that XB1 runs hotter?. See the XB1 runs virtually silent unlike the noisy PS4 which runs louder than my high end PC. So if you can provide a link with detailed information otherwise I will put that down to hearsay.

[@jraybay]

JAGUARCD32X The ps4 really isn't loud. If it's as loud as you try to make it out to be you should relocate it and give it better ventilation or inquire about possible issues with it. Give it a rest.

[@JAGUARCD32X]

jraybay Give what a rest?. What is there to rest?. The noise the PS4 makes is ever so slightly louder than a gtx690 which is two graphics cards running in tandem on just one PCB with a single fan for cooling. I know this as I was reading from websites that have measured the noise PS4 makes in Db's and it compares with a gtx690 in noise department. That has been scientifically proven. If you don't think that's loud for hardware that uses a 16 watt low power architecture designed for tablets and netbooks paired with a lower mid range GPU then I don't know what to say. If a console using low power architecture is as loud as two GPU's using the same one fan cooling solution then I don't know what to say. I think you are being overly defensive as it's loud, many people believe it's loud. It's not like I am protesting people not to buy the device on the grounds of the noise it makes

[@jraybay]

JAGUARCD32X You really didn't need this short story reply. I originally thought you were referring to idle noises and well... the ps4 is dead silent. when the fans kick up however its obviously noticeable. Not having a brick hanging off of it may contribute to that and it's about half the size of the xbox 1, it seems.

[@ladainionbaker9045]

i feel like this guy doesn't care about playstation

[@matthewtremain683]

+LaDainion Baker I think he cares more about tearing it apart to look.

[@playmine]

Great job, but when using something sharp like a scalpel shouldn't you use it so the blade is moving away rather than towards you???

[@israeltoledo7795]

00:24 It says ps4 teardown and ps4 access controller written on his board so he must have heard of it before

[@Revillution]

Portable PS4!

[@U2bingDummy]

Can you make a super computer with some raspberry pi's? Please? PS: I subed :D

[@bigbeefposter]

take A LOT of raspberry pi's to make a supercomputer lol

[@Kalywonkas]

It's been done pretty successfully by a lot of people.

[@U2bingDummy]

Yeah, what kalywonkas said.

[@MyBrothersMario]

JZBEAST64 It's not nearly that simple

[@uchihasilver8362]

such a cheesy beginning xD

[@23DBryan]

So my PS4 comes in 13 days, that means I don't have one yet, but by some reason I was getting chills and goosebumps while watching him tear it.

[@fantro1064]

he said the Playstation was held together by magic, remember on the playstation 2, Magicgate memory card holder

[@Whiptail]

woot

[@jdali1706]

Make xbox one portable

[@spyfox258]

***** the only reason the XB1 is bigger is because it has much better airflow. watch his tear down of it.

[@kimlikesflowers]

The Red Shoto Wasn't there a photo floating around the 'net about how the thermal exhaust was melting the vent plastic?

[@spyfox258]

***** I have never heard of that happening, and besides the PS4 runs hotter because the RAM they use. P.S. it would have to be upwards of 300 degrees for either console to do that.

[@kimlikesflowers]

www.spawnfirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Residue2.jpg This is what I'm referring to, and it appears fake the more I look at it.

[@spyfox258]

***** did you see the tear down to the xbox, its the same size MB, at least research before. and honestly if your going to believe a Pic on the inter net you shouldent be talking. P.D. there is no paint on the xbox or PS4 they both use black plastic. using paint is stupid.

[@LETHALxxTiTAN]

ps4 laptop

[@LETHALxxTiTAN]

Yeah its even smaller then a ps3 slim thats why i want to see it done

[@SavedByFaithInJesus]

This is the Bob Ross of electronics. Got some happy little diods over here and maybe one waaay back behind the cooling fan.

[@jayycontententertainment4859]

Thank you. Was looking for the screws and you made it alot easier.
