Apparently going from tscm's 5nm to 3nm, at same speeds, can reduce power consumption by 35% (says wiki).
PS5 is made on a 7nm node (so jump would be bigger than 35% reduction, how much I'm not sure).
Its not "unthinkable" that potentially you could cut power consumption in half or something like that.
