Sony is planning to release a Nintendo Switch-style hybrid handheld alongside the PlayStation 6. The handheld will run natively, be dockable to a TV, and support backward compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games. The device will be powered by an AMD "Canis" APU with four Zen 6c cores plus two Zen 6 LP cores dedicated to the operating system. Graphics are handled by 16 RDNA 5 compute units clocked at 1.2GHz handheld and about 1.65GHz docked. The system includes a 192-bit memory bus supporting up to 48GB LPDDR5X, MicroSD and M.2 SSD slots, haptics, touchscreen, and dual microphones. Performance indicators exceed current devices in docked mode.
Sony is reportedly planning to release a Nintendo Switch-style hybrid gaming handheld alongside its next-generation console, the PlayStation 6. A new leak has shed light on the purported PS6 handheld, along with details on the chipset powering the device, performance indicators, and likely price. Sony, which currently offers a remote player for the PS5, has previously been reported to be working on a handheld device that can run PlayStation games natively.
The purported PS6 handheld is said to run on AMD "Canis" APU, which comes with four Zen 6c cores, and two additional Zen 6 LP cores dedicated for the operating system to keep non-gaming tasks away from the main gaming cores, as per leaked documents. The four Zen 6c cores will reportedly power 16 compute units of RDNA 5 graphics, clocked at 1.2Ghz in handheld mode and around 1.65Ghz in docked mode.
