An insider compared the power of the portable PlayStation 6 with Intel Panther Lake chips

New details about the capabilities of the portable version of the PlayStation 6, codenamed Canis, have surfaced online. Insider Kepler_L2 shared the information, noting that the device's gaming performance is comparable to Intel's Panther Lake mobile processors, which are aimed at the handheld segment.

According to him, Panther Lake chips with a TDP of approximately 30W are capable of delivering results close to those of the portable PS6, while consuming approximately 15W. Therefore, future Intel processors are seen as a convenient benchmark for understanding the true power of Sony's new console, despite differences in architecture and software optimization.

Videocardz previously reported that Intel is developing a specialized Core G3 series based on Panther Lake, designed specifically for portable gaming devices. These solutions are expected to combine high performance with moderate power consumption, making the comparison with Canis even more revealing.

Rumor has it that the portable PlayStation 6 will be able to run PlayStation 5 games directly, albeit at reduced resolution and frame rate. It's believed that the PS5's power-saving mode was originally conceived as a tool to adapt titles to the upcoming portable console, balancing graphics quality with battery life.
