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.
