It is quieter, it gets hotter when gaming though despite using less power and having more fans and exhaust

the ps4 is around 10dB louder up "close"

edit: decibels are logarithmic btw

Can we all agree that it's amazing that PS4 is smaller, cooler, more powerful and not louder?

Just to clarify, I'm not saying this is this huge deal that obviously makes one console better than the other. Just from an engineering perspective - that they were able to achieve this.... it's fascinating.

EDIT: I think anyone that's built a PC will agree with this.

temperature differences seem pretty inconclusive considering they use different methodology, and they're pretty close

(ps4)
Only when you run a game and then move to the menus does the system start to kick out some serious heat. We measured 50-degrees Celsius venting from the rear (better out than in, we say) with the casing itself heating up to 45 degrees - that's approaching launch PS3 territory.

We ran a series of tests using an infra-red thermometer that we pointed at the "hot spot" area on the casing, where temperatures were consistently at their highest.

We measure a peak of 125W consumed during gameplay and a 49 degrees Celsius case temperature (directly above the processor, so effectively the exhaust)
