Recently, Roberto Serrano, a well-known game industry analyst, provided interesting information about tests carried out on the next generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and S. In the data provided by Roberto, it is possible to check the average temperature and the maximum temperature of each video game. Console cooling has always been a big issue for engineers, but it seems that both companies have come up with efficient solutions, although there are differences in cooling performance and heat generation in each console.
Check out Roberto Serrano's tweet on Twitter below:

It's curious to say the least that the results don't convey the impression we had when watching the PS5 be dismantled a few days ago. Well, the Sony console seemed to have a robust solution for cooling the components, in addition to the fact that the Playstation 5 will probably generate less heat, due to the processing power being lower compared to Xbox Series X. Check out the video below. Japanese video game being dismantled (Spanish subtitles can be activated).
For comparison, also check out the video made by Digital Foundry, where the Xbox Series X is disassembled and analyzed.
