Do you like the PS5 console design?

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.

We haven't even seem the PS5 disassembled. In the case of the XSX the size is in function of the size of the chips themselves, at most the vapor chamber made the console a little more fat.

And the wrong is on the "problem". Again if you have a design that meets the requirements and don't fail or anything similar than that isn't a problem it is a condition of your design.

It would be like saying PS4 or X1 have a problem with electrical draw power because they consume a lot more than Switch, that wouldn't be true. Switch may by design use components that draw less electrical power, but if both PS4 and Xbox are designed for a different condition that needs more power that isn't a problem. The noise on PS4 can be said to be a problem since their cooling solution wasn't as well made as Xbox so to keep the console cool it became noisy, but still it didn't had a thermal problem. The only cases we heard of PS4 overheating (and got a lot of fear mongering here) was a demo console closed in an glass dome with very little ventilation.
