Reports Point to Dockable PS6 Handheld With AMD 3nm Chip and PS5/PS4 Support

Sony has not confirmed the device yet.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite Moore’s Law Is Dead as reporting a PS6 portable codenamed Canis that can dock for TV play, with GPU clocks said to boost from about 1.20 GHz in handheld to roughly 1.65 GHz when docked.
  • The leaked spec sheet points to a custom AMD APU on TSMC 3nm with 4 Zen 6c cores plus 2 Zen 6 Low Power cores, a 16‑CU RDNA 5 GPU, and a 192‑bit LPDDR5X controller supporting up to 48GB of RAM.
  • Documents described in the reports also mention PS5 and PS4 game compatibility, storage expansion via MicroSD and an M.2 slot, a touchscreen, dual mics, and haptic feedback.
  • Performance estimates in the leaks suggest the device could outpace ASUS’s ROG Xbox Ally X and, with patches and FSR 4, approach base PS5 performance in docked scenarios, with some claims of strong ray tracing uplift.
  • Pricing and timing remain speculative, with reports pointing to a $399–$499 target and a 2027 launch as part of a three‑SKU PS6 lineup, while analysts and commentators question feasibility, thermals, and costs.
