Leak Points to PS6 Handheld With Power Ahead of Xbox Series S

The claims stem from a single forum leaker without any Sony confirmation.

Overview

  • The reported PS6 handheld, detailed Wednesday by leaker KeplerL2 on NeoGAF, carries the codename Project Canis.
  • Leaked specs cite an AMD-based chip on TSMC’s 3nm process with 4 Zen 6c cores, 2 low‑power Zen 6 cores, 16 RDNA 5 compute units, and 24GB of LPDDR5X on a 192‑bit bus.
  • The leaker says the GPU would be a bit ahead of Xbox Series S in rasterization and far ahead in ray and path tracing, which are techniques for more realistic lighting.
  • Sony’s next PSSR3 upscaler, paired with AMD’s FSR5, is claimed to deliver sharper images than Nvidia’s DLSS 4.5 and to top the Switch 2’s DLSS 2 or “DLSS Lite,” which are AI tools that boost frame rate and clarity.
  • No price or release timing is known, and outlets note the single‑source nature of the reports plus memory and component costs that could affect any next‑gen hardware plans.
