Overview
- The rumored device, codenamed Canis, is described as a Switch-style portable that docks for higher performance, with a 16‑CU RDNA5 GPU targeting about 1.20 GHz in handheld use and roughly 1.65 GHz when docked.
- Leaked documents point to a custom ~135mm² TSMC 3nm APU with 4 Zen 6c cores plus 2 low‑power cores dedicated to system tasks, and a 192‑bit LPDDR5X‑8533 controller supporting up to 48GB of memory.
- Backwards compatibility with PS5 and PS4 is claimed, with estimates that patched games using FSR4 could approach PS5‑class results despite docked raster performance at roughly 0.55–0.75x PS5 and ray tracing at about 1.3–2.6x.
- The handheld is reportedly positioned to outperform ASUS’s ROG Ally X, with pricing projected at about $399–$499 and a likely release window around late 2027.
- Listed features include a touchscreen, haptic feedback, dual microphones, MicroSD expansion and an M.2 slot, while the final RAM capacity remains unclear as developers cited 24–36GB as preferable for next‑gen workloads.
