PlayStation 6 Portable Will Be More Powerful Than Xbox Series S

There new details about portable version PlayStation 6 from the authoritative insider Kepler_L2, who previously revealed the architectural details of AMD's future APUs. According to him, portable ps6 will be located between Xbox Series S and base PS5 in terms of power. However, despite this, the device will be able to run PlayStation 5 games - but not at maximum settings.

The main problem will be low memory bandwidth, which will force users to put up with lower resolution and frame rates. Architecture GPU will be completely new and not yet presented, so it is difficult to predict its behavior and performance. In addition, the portable version will have fewer than 40 computing units - fewer than the base PS5 chip (36 CU).

It is also confirmed that The portable console uses a separate SoC, which runs on ultra-low voltage and will be released with a delay relative to the chip for the stationary PS6. This means that full information about the portable model will appear later.

Let us remind you that the PS6, like its predecessors, will be based on AMD chips. Although Intel also bid for the project, Sony chose AMD over Intel due to disagreements within Intel over the financial terms of the deal. Official release expected in 2027-2028.
