It seems like Sony plans to step into the handheld segment soon, and the company is rumored to be working on an "in-house" chip project to power their next portable device. Sony's Next-Gen "PlayStation" Handheld Rumored To Be Powered by a Custom AMD Chip, Featuring Samsung's Cutting-Edge 2nm Process Sony has shown an intention to expand its product offerings from consoles to other segments, and the PlayStation Portal is an excellent example of this. While it isn't an exact handheld device, it does indicate that Sony is interested in this particular market. Now, according to the renowned leaker @Jukanlosreve, it is claimed that for Sony's next portable device, the firm is considering utilizing an "in-house" chip that is labelled as Project "Juptier" and interestingly, the chip will be developed by AMD and will use Samsung's high-end SF2P 2nm node, marking an interesting combination. Now, it is important to take this rumor with a grain of salt since Sony has been rumored to be developing several "extraordinary" projects that never saw the light of day. In terms of a handheld device, it was rumored that the PlayStation handheld would be like a "mini-PS5" according to Digital Foundry, who claimed that the device won't be able to run PlayStation 5 games natively, and will instead require scaled-down titles similar to Nintendo's approach. If this handheld rumor actually becomes true, this device would become the successor to the iconic PS Vita, which was released thirteen years ago. The custom SoC approach makes sense here, since Sony can fine-tune it to bring impressive performance/watt figures, making it a more effective solution. Opting for AMD also works out for Sony, given that Team Red is known for its powerful APUs in the handheld segment, and the firm has a long history in developing the PS5 lineup as well, so it is safe to say that the rumors aren't far-fetched. In terms of employing Samsung's 2nm process, well, this is something that only time will decide, but we know that the Korean giant is progressing with its node, so an integration seems like a great possibility. For now, Sony is certainly planning the launch of a portable device, but discussions are underway, and we can expect a formal unveiling by 2028.
