According to a report from Moore’s Law Is Dead, Sony is said to be developing a new handheld gaming device, unofficially called the Vita 2, which will utilize an AMD APU chip. The release of this device is expected to take at least another 2 years.
Further analysis by Moore’s Law Is Dead suggests that Sony may already have a contract with AMD to develop chips for the PS6, making it possible for the handheld device to be released around the same time as the PS6. This handheld device would likely be a scaled-down version of the PS6, catering specifically to the portable gaming market in Japan.
Moore’s Law Is Dead also speculates that this chip could potentially have an 18 CU graphics specification to support PS4 games played natively. However, playing PS5 games on this device might require additional customization and adjustments from game developers.
TLDR: Sony is reportedly working on a new handheld gaming device, unofficially known as the Vita 2, featuring an AMD APU chip. The release is expected in about 2 years. Additionally, there are rumors of Sony collaborating with AMD for the development of PS6 chips, suggesting the possibility of the handheld device being released around the same time as the PS6. The Vita 2 may support playing PS4 games natively, but adjustments may be needed for PS5 game compatibility.
