A new leak has revealed unprecedented details about the upcoming PlayStation 6. According to sources from Moore's Law is Dead, Sony is expected to invest in two APUs based on the AMD Zen 6 architecture, known as Orion and Canis, which will shape the next generation of the console.

The strategy indicates that the company wants to unify its product line, offering a powerful tabletop experience with the PS6 and an affordable portable version that shares the same technological foundation.

Orion will be the base of the PS6 desktop and Canis will equip Sony's new portable

The Orion chip will be the heart of the standard PlayStation 6, ensuring power for next-gen titles. This APU is expected to deliver the maximum performance promised by Sony, meeting the most demanding gaming standards.

The Canis will be the more compact version and will power the handheld device planned to accompany the PS6. It will have similar CPU and GPU characteristics to the Orion, but with reduced performance to suit the mobile format. The handheld runs PS6 games and offers compatibility with PS4 and PS5 titles, in 1080p and 720p resolutions.

Focus on integration and accessibility

By adopting two APUs with the same technology base, Sony facilitates joint development for both devices and creates a unified ecosystem. The handheld also promises to be a more affordable alternative, especially for gamers who haven't yet switched from the PS4. Furthermore, the detachable stand that allows for TV gaming reinforces the device's hybrid approach.

Expectations and next steps

So far, information about full specifications, such as graphics power and release date, remains under wraps. Long-standing rumors claim that Sony plans to offer 4K gameplay at 120 fps, but there's no way to confirm whether it will deliver on that promise.
