He replaced the two thermal pads that did not fully cover the CPU with a dollop of thermal paste and noticed significantly better and more even heat dissipation.
Most important finding: despite the temperature drop and improved heat dissipation, 8K/4K HQ still cut off at 20min mark, suggesting a firmware limit is also in place.

This really demonstrates how much NR is going on internally:

A7S III colour science is certainly improved and offers a much better starting point for colour grading.
Here are some samples matched to ARRI Alexa with minor adjustments, using "CineMatch" sensor matching algorithm, the A7S III sensor profile is still at beta stage.

4K 24-60P and 4K 120P have almost the same level of sharpness and detail. And 1080P is not supersampled, but pixel-binned from 24-60P and line-skipped from 100-240P.

A combination of observations and insider info.

Someone dissembled R5 and found barely any heatsink and shockingly there was no TIM (thermal paste).

Regarding the so-called "16bit linear RAW" 4264 x 2408 60FPS HDMI output, it's actually derived from 12bit ADC sensor readout, then dithered(upscaled) by the DSP to 16bit.

12bit ADC places an upper limit on the DR, which is 12 stops. Current silicon based sensors work in linear, so 1bit=1 stop.
Again, E2's low noise mode engages the 14bit ADC which is a hardware on the sensor, the video files are encoded with 10bit ProRes, which I'd say holds between 12-13 stops DR.
ARRI uses dual 14bit ADC to merge into a single 16bit stream, this is mapped to 12bit log for its 14+ stops of DR.
It seems that you're confusing linear ADC bitdepth with encoding curve bitdepth which can be log or linear or anything in between (for example, BRAW is non-linear RAW)

It was shot in 4K normal.

R5 has better rolling shutter than A7S III:

None of the 1080p modes on A7S III are supersampled from full sensor readout, 24p to 60p are pixel binned, 120p is pixel binned and lineskipped, 240p is futher pixel binned lineskipped (to 1420 x 804)
