Leak: PS6 Could Rock 30GB GDDR7 RAM on 160-Bit Bus, Handheld Hits 24GB LPDDR5X – Kepler L2’s Bold Prediction

Kepler L2, the leaker with a solid PS5 Pro track record, dropped a bombshell on NeoGAF: Sony’s PS6 (codenamed Orion) might pack up to 30GB GDDR7 RAM via 10x 3GB modules on a 160-bit bus for 640 GB/s bandwidth—an 11% jump over PS5 Pro’s 576 GB/s. The handheld sibling (“Project Canis”) gets 24GB LPDDR5X, putting it in ROG Ally X territory. This comes amid memory shortages delaying launches (possibly beyond 2027), but if true, PS6 aims for PC-like VRAM heft for AI/RT-heavy games.

PS6 Console: 30GB GDDR7 on Slimmer Bus?

Kepler L2 details a clamshell setup with 3GB GDDR7 modules (unusual density) enabling 30GB total—higher than PS5’s 16GB but on a narrower 160-bit bus vs. PS5 Pro’s 256-bit. Bandwidth holds strong at 640 GB/s (32 GB/s per module), prioritizing capacity for textures/AI over raw speed—smart for next-gen amid shortages.

PS6 Handheld (Project Canis): 24GB LPDDR5X Power

The portable gets 24GB LPDDR5X—matching high-end handhelds like Ally X—likely for docked PS5+ performance with RDNA 5 GPU (16-36 CUs per prior leaks). Ties into Sony’s multi-SKU strategy (budget console/handheld + flagship).

X Reactions: Hype vs. Shortage Fears

X explodes: Zuby_Tech’s post (1.6K likes) hails “2x PS5 RAM,” Thiago_Maycon shares in French/Spanish (global buzz). Skeptics like @nib95_ tie to delays: “PS6S handheld $300-400?” RinoTheBouncer calls it “PSP successor.”

For PC builders, PS6’s RAM push signals console-PC convergence—handheld wars heat up with Deck 2/ROG Ally. Shortages could spike DDR5 prices further. Believing the leak? Comment below!
