A new Sony PlayStation Portable or PS Vita hasn't arrived in a long time, leading us to believe that the portable PlayStation handheld is dead. However, new hope has emerged as a new PlayStation handheld is reportedly in development, and a custom AMD processor could power it.

Sony says it doubles your power! PS5 update!

The news comes via YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead, who claim through their sources that a new portable PlayStation handheld gaming console is in "early development." There's no design in mind for it yet, either. This will be very different from the recently revealed PlayStation Portal Remote Player, which is just a cloud gaming device and doesn't actually run games natively.

According to MLID, Sony has already given chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) the green light to develop next-generation chips for new PlayStation game consoles. This includes the PlayStation 6 and the rumored PlayStation Handheld gaming console.

When it comes to the internal specifications of the next PS handheld, a next-generation AMD processor, which will be an Advanced Processing Unit (APU), is expected to power the upcoming handheld. It can come with 18 compute units (CUs).
