PS6 Handheld Can be Docked Like Nintendo Switch – Rumour

As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly keeping tabs on the gaming world for quite some time now, especially since we’re five years deep into this console generation with the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Recently, an intriguing report has surfaced suggesting that the potential successor to our beloved PS devices might just step into a new arena – potentially going head-to-head with Nintendo! This tantalizing possibility arises from rumors hinting at a unique feature: the ability for this next-gen handheld to dock and run its games on a larger screen, expanding the gaming experience beyond the palm of our hands.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited about the latest scoop on the upcoming PS6 handheld! In a recent video by Moore’s Law is Dead, they revealed that this new device will not only offer docking functionality but also backwards compatibility with both PS4 and PS5 games. This means I can take my entire PlayStation library with me wherever I go! It seems like the backward compatibility feature has been a significant focus for the PS6 handheld, and it’s reportedly so seamless that developers won’t even need to put in extra effort for the games to run smoothly on the device. Can’t wait to get my hands on this game-changer!

The video suggests it possesses details about the device’s handheld hardware, implying a future AMD chip with 16 RDNA 5 compute units capable of 1.20 GHz in handheld mode. When connected to a dock, it appears the system could boost its speed to 1.65 GHz. The YouTuber claims this intel is derived from AMD documentation he was granted access to.

Although boasting a significant amount of power within its interior, the PS6 handheld is expected to be competitively priced compared to the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X. This lower cost might be due to Sony developing the handheld entirely in-house, as opposed to collaborating with an external company such as Asus for R&D and other development processes. The estimated price ranges are $299-$399 for PS6S, $399-$499 for the standard PS6 handheld model, and $549-$699 for the home console version of the PS6.

It’s not just these rumors suggesting advancements in next-generation consoles. Recently, a report emerged claiming that the PS6 could feature a GPU as powerful as AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT, PC graphics card of the current generation. Moreover, it’s said that this chip would incorporate custom features like hardware-level support for Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite-style graphics techniques and a Streaming Wave Coalescer enabling out-of-order program execution.

According to another report, the upcoming PS6 handheld, although more powerful than the PS5, will be significantly more energy-efficient. This efficiency is achieved through the use of a chip manufactured using a 3nm process and featuring 4 Zen 6C cores. The handheld’s memory bus is expected to be high-performance, offering a width of 128 bits, and the RAM will likely be LPDDR5X. This hardware setup will operate on just 15 watts of power.

The new PS6 handheld is anticipated to deliver a similar level of rasterization performance as the base PS5, primarily due to advancements in efficiency and power from AMD’s latest processors.
