Sony did something like that. The move to a 6nm chip means the logic transistor density increased by 18.8% and the die size shrunk from 300 square millimeters to just 270 (roughly 15% smaller). The other benefit of the smaller chip for Sony is the fact 20% more of them can be produced per wafer, with little difference in production cost. New PS5 Model Uses More Efficient 'Oberon Plus' 6nm Chip (pcmag.com) Likely Xbox is working on a similar solution. Microsoft Reportedly Working On Smaller, More Power Efficient Series X Chip | Pure Xbox Wouldn't change the outside look though so I'm not sure if that is the ? |
The change to 6nm would be very welcome. Though like you said, PS5 did that 6 months ago now and is supposedly launching a new model this year so I think some kind of Series X Slim instead would be great.
