Form and Power Consumption
The original PlayStation 3 console is approximately 5 kg (11 lb), 325 mm (W) × 98 mm (H) × 274 mm (D). The case was designed by Teiyu Goto of Sony, and uses the Spider-man font.
The PlayStation 3 slim weighs 3.2 kg (7.1 lb) and the dimensions are approximately 290mm (W) x 65mm (H) x 290mm (D).
The PlayStation 3 super slim is said to weigh 25% less than PS3 slim, i.e. 2.1 kg (4.6 lb) and measure 290mm (W) x 60mm (H) x 230mm (D) when laid flat.
The power consumption of the initial PlayStation 3 units based on 90 nm Cell CPU ranges from 170–200 watts during normal use, despite having a 380 watt power supply. The power consumption of newer 40 GB PlayStation 3 (65 nm process Cell/90 nm RSX) units ranges from 120-140 watts during normal use. The latest 80 GB units use both 65 nm Cell and 65 nm RSX, and have further lowered power consumption to between 90–120 W. The PS3 Slim reduces this power consumption by another 34% with the use of a 45 nm Cell, to around 76 W.

Famous quotes containing the words form, power and/or consumption:
“This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand.”
—Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944)
“What happens is that, as with drugs, he needs a stronger shot each time, and women are just women. The consumption of one woman is the consumption of all. You can’t double the dose.”
—Ian Fleming (1908–1964)
