Do you like the PS5 console design?

Neither Soundwave nor I have said that the consoles have heat problems, only that AMD has a problem making products, GPUs in this case, that generate a lot of heat because they're power hungry. And then he also said that the PS5 is ugly, which is not the question here, and that both Sony and MSoft have had to do what they could with that. Which means, greatly improve the cooling system of both consoles.

The consoles won't have a problems with heat because they've already adjusted their cooling solutions to take care of it. That's all Soundwave said in his post. I fail to see the leap you're talking about.

Yes he didn't said the console have problems with heat although gaving it as reason to be big. Again generating a lot of heat  isn't the same thing as having a heat problem.

A different thread this days talking about DF analysis of HW beeing flawed because it compared an AMD CPU with stock very simple cooling solution versus a i7 with water cooled solution. Would you claim that the i7 have heat problem?

Having a heat problem would reflect in your set up overheating and your life expectancy reducing. Neither is likely to happen even though we had this type of claim in the forum and also that Sony was having issues with the PS5 overheating and for that reason they didn't had show the console yet.

Sorry, I'm still trying to find what's wrong with Soundwave's comment, to be honest.

Will the SoC powering the new consoles use more power than the ones in past generations? Yes. Will that mean that it will generate more heat? Also yes (more power used = more heat produced). Have consoles got bigger to fit a better cooling system to take care of that heat so it doesn't become a problem for the console? Also yes.

Also yes, the new Intel processors have a problem. They use a lot of power and get very, very hot. That's why they need a much better cooler than the competition. A cooler that works just fine with a Ryzen 3000 will strugle to keep an Intel cool. You need either a CLC unit or a much bigger air cooler.
