In graphically demanding titles like Elden Ring, Spider-Man 2, and F1 24 running at top quality settings, the PS5 Pro's power usage hovered around 228-240 watts. That's not too shabby considering the standard PS5 consumed 200-218 watts in the same games. The Slim model was the real power-hungry anomaly, consuming almost as much electricity as the Pro despite using the same silicon as the base PS5.
Of course, no two silicon chips are created equal. The Slim model's higher power consumption can be attributed to the quality of its chip. Maybe Digital Foundry's test unit was powered by whatever the opposite of a silicon lottery is.
