Leaker Confirms PS6 and Xbox Helix Tape-Outs, Highlighting 40% Performance Gap and Pricing Risks

AMD leaker Kepler_L2 confirms the custom chips for the PlayStation 6 and Xbox Project Helix have been taped out, pointing to a late 2027 launch. The Xbox Helix is reported to offer 56 TFLOPS compared to the PS6's 40 TFLOPS, a 40% raw performance advantage. However, analysts warn that this gap may not translate to double frame rates due to architectural differences. The primary concern is pricing: rising memory costs have pushed the PS6 bill of materials to approximately $960, while the Helix is expected to cost over $1,000, potentially limiting adoption.

Leaked Specs Reveal Project Canis Handled Will Match PS5 Pro Power via PSSR 3.0

Leaked specifications for Sony's Project Canis handheld, codenamed PSP 3, suggest a late 2027 launch with hardware capable of matching the PS5 Pro's performance through advanced upscaling. The device features a custom 3nm AMD chip with 16 RDNA 5 compute units, rendering at 540p natively but using PSSR 3.0 to achieve effective performance levels of 10-14 TFLOPS. While the base hardware is limited by strict power constraints, the new upscaling technology aims to bridge the gap with high-end desktop consoles.
