Leak Points to Dockable PS6 Handheld With AMD Zen 6 and RDNA 5

The claims, attributed to Moore’s Law Is Dead citing AMD documentation, outline a 2027‑or‑later launch target and a projected $399–$499 price range, and Sony has not confirmed any details.

Overview

  • Codenamed Canis, the reported device uses a TSMC 3nm AMD APU with 4 Zen 6c cores plus 2 low‑power Zen 6 cores, a 16‑CU RDNA 5 GPU, and a 192‑bit LPDDR5X‑8533 interface with support cited up to 48GB of memory.
  • The handheld is said to operate around 1.20GHz with a docked mode boosting clocks to roughly 1.65GHz, echoing a Switch‑style hybrid design that enables higher performance when connected to a TV.
  • Backwards compatibility with PS5 and PS4 is repeatedly reported, with notes that some titles may need patches and upscaling tech such as FSR 4 to reach base PS5‑like performance targets.
  • Early performance estimates suggest it could comfortably outperform the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X and, in select scenarios, approach or exceed base PS5 ray‑tracing levels or near PS5 Pro RT performance, subject to software support.
  • Reported consumer features include a touchscreen, MicroSD expansion, an M.2 slot, haptic feedback, and dual microphones, with multiple outlets reiterating the leak remains unverified by Sony.
