More smoke around Sony’s alleged PS6 handheld—and this one’s pretty juicy.
Word is the chip (codename Canis) is fabbed on TSMC’s N3 node and measures about 135mm².
Inside? Four Zen 6c cores plus two Zen 6 low-power cores. That’s kind of the inverse of AMD’s new Ryzen AI 340 laptop part (which goes 2× Zen 5 + 4× Zen 5c). MLID claims the handheld will flip the script—games run on the big Zen 6c cluster, while the OS hums away on the smaller LP cores. If true, that’s a clever way to stretch battery life without kneecapping performance.
Now, I’m not a console guy—but I’ll admit, when Sony was in the handheld space, it made gaming better. I still have my red PSP and it’s never leaving my collection. Iconic.
If this pans out, I’m glad to see Sony take another swing at handhelds. The PC crowd will always have better specs, but hey—competition makes the scene more interesting.
Claimed Sony PS6 handheld console specs promise a miracle of next-gen, cutting-edge processor architectures at a price that's barely enough for today's hardware
It's not the season to be jolly yet, so how about a season of silly suggestions instead?
