IT Home, July 1: On June 29, AMD engineer Vishal Badole introduced a patch to the Linux kernel, aimed at integrating support for a 'Low Power' core type. This core type is specifically engineered to minimize power usage during background or idle operations. Earlier, there were whispers in the tech sphere that Sony's upcoming PS6 handheld gaming console could potentially be equipped with an APU boasting a hybrid architecture, seamlessly blending Zen 6c and Zen 6 LP cores. The introduction of this patch dovetails neatly with those rumors, offering subtle yet compelling technical backing to the ongoing speculation. Nevertheless, it's important to note that this does not constitute concrete evidence regarding the ultimate hardware configuration of the PS6 handheld console.
