They need expensive cooling parts for the 9.2 tfs.

Or perhaps they want to ensure a more quiet machine than the Pro. I wouldn’t read too much into that until we get more info

Well, we also have a reliable estimate that the XSX's BOM is $460 - $520. Unless MS is spending their bucks on another Kinect or some exotic RAM solution (which, to be fair, has happened in the past), it doesn't seem like Sony is buying anything ressembling or exceeding  a ~ 360 - 400 mm2 APU. This is broadly consisent with what leaks have stated about these consoles (as in being fairly similar except for a larger GPU on the XSX).
