New Portable PlayStation Will Be More Powerful Than Xbox Series S, According to Reliable Insider

Full-fledged console experience in a portable format.

The next-generation portable console from Sony may turn out to be significantly more powerful than expected. According to well-known insider KeplerL2, the future system, codenamed Project Canis, is capable of surpassing the Xbox Series S in both traditional rendering and ray tracing.

According to the leak, the device's graphics subsystem "slightly outperforms" the Xbox Series S in rasterization and "significantly outperforms" it in ray tracing capabilities. This makes Sony's portable console potentially one of the most powerful in its class.

The published specifications are as follows:

• 4 Zen 6c cores
• 2 energy-efficient Zen 6 LP cores
• 16 RDNA 5 compute units
• 24 GB of LPDDR5X memory (192-bit bus)
• 135 mm² chip manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process

Special attention is paid to image quality. According to the insider, the new version of Sony's proprietary upscaler — PSSR 3 — will provide higher image quality than competitors' solutions, including the Nintendo Switch 2 with its DLSS "Light" technology from NVIDIA.
