The patent showcased a diagram of the PS5 devkit. It was filled in November 2019 and published today. The design of the PS5 devkit reveals a cooling system that avoids blowing air from the top and instead accomplishes this from each side of the devkit. There are three fans stacked on each side that are used to pump hot air out of the console while it is meant to help the developers stack multiple devkits on top of each other.

From the design, we can see that Sony is catering to a well-ventilated design for the devkit. It remains to be seen what kind of shape the final version of the console will take but knowing the massive amount of noise generated by both the PS4 and PS4 Pro, Sony could have looked into a more efficient cooling solution.
