The portable PS6 will be more powerful than the Xbox Series S and the PSSR 3 will amaze, according to a rumor

There's not just the PS6 in Sony's future plans: the Japanese company is also working on a portable PS6, a project that will challenge the many handhelds that have hit the market in recent years. While waiting for official details from Sony, a new leak reveals some details about the console that will feature a GPU more powerful than the Xbox Series S.

The Latest on the Portable PS6

According to information shared by the leaker KeplerL2, Sony's new console is expected to deliver good performance, aiming to become an absolute market benchmark. The project will be based on an AMD APU with the following specifications:

4 core Zen 6c
2 core Zen 6 LP
16 x RDNA 5 CU
LPDDR5X at 192 bit (24 GB)
135mm² TSMC 3nm

The most interesting aspect of the report concerns a first performance comparison that allows us to identify what the console's potential should be. The portable PS6 will have a GPU that is "slightly faster" than the Xbox Series S in rasterization, with significantly superior performance in Ray Tracing and Path Tracing. The source also believes that the PSSR3 used by the console will be capable of offering "an image quality even better than the current DLSS 4.5."

All information is to be confirmed. The actual capabilities of the console and the now-essential upscaling system will play a crucial role in the project's success, similar to its price, which risks being particularly high due to the memory crisis. Let's remember that the PS6 is expected to launch at a price of around 700 dollars.
