A reliable insider claims that Sony’s new portable console, codenamed Project Canis, is poised to significantly outperform the Xbox Series S. This upcoming system is expected to deliver a full console-grade experience in a compact, portable format, potentially exceeding expectations for performance in its class.
According to the leaked information, Project Canis’s graphics subsystem is anticipated to slightly surpass the Xbox Series S in traditional rasterization and show a marked advantage in ray tracing capabilities. This positions Sony’s new portable device as potentially one of the most powerful handheld gaming systems on the market.
The rumored technical specifications for the device are impressive and include:
- 4 Zen 6c cores
- 2 Zen 6 LP energy-efficient cores
- 16 RDNA 5 compute units
- 24 GB LPDDR5X memory (192-bit bus)
- A 135 mm² chip, manufactured using TSMC’s advanced 3nm process
Furthermore, the insider highlights Sony’s commitment to visual fidelity. A new version of their proprietary upscaling technology, PSSR 3, is said to deliver superior image quality compared to rival solutions, including the “Light” DLSS technology anticipated in the Nintendo Switch 2. This suggests a focus on providing crisp, high-resolution visuals even on a portable display.
