Did we know the "PC" was going to be a custom AMD chip? Or was that not just for the console?

The Ally doesn't use a custom chip though.
Which makes me question - is there a different Xbox handheld that we don't know about yet?

No chance when there is no SoC in development that we know of, unlike Magnus (Xbox Next), Orion (PS6) and Canis (PS6P).

Did Microsoft themselves confirm that or was it just rumours from one of the usual lackeys?
This seems pretty clear cut, in that there will be custom chips for all 3 and that they are in development.
If I remember correctly the Series S SoC was kept under wraps until pretty late in the day.

It appeared in Phil's dreams though
A handheld Xbox? Microsoft’s gaming chief can’t stop thinking about it
What game would you play first on a portable Xbox?

I've just seen that it "ended" via an "announcement" from Jez, but Phil himself was the one who seemed to confirm it's existence beforehand:
Microsoft Confirms Plans to Release an Xbox Handheld, but It’s Years Away - IGN
Microsoft Gaming boss Phil Spencer has confirmed the company’s plans to release an Xbox handheld, but stressed it’s years away from release.

In that case I guess a 2027, 2028 AMD chipset based dedicated handheld doesn't sound too far-fetched.
It almost sounds like they and Sony are looking at the same road map, a powerful set-top device and a handheld to go with it.
Their gaming release pipeline in the last 2~ years has been incredible. Not sure what else we can realistically expect from them.

Microsoft should try to give exclusivity a try: it may find that they can sell more systems that way.
I still think it's hilarious that (because they bit off more than they could chew with the ABK merger), Microsoft gave up on even trying to make their Bethesda games exclusive before seeing if they'd have an impact.

Wasn't Lockhart a known entity by late 2018 already? KeplerL2 seems to be sure on no handheld SoC being developed atm:

Does "and handhelds" means devices like the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X?
That microsoft plans new consoles is great, because Sony need a worthy competitor or they'll become too arrogant.
Just compare their effort during the ps3 generation with today.

No because that's not a custom chip.
"custom" is actually the key word here and I should have put it in the title but I fat fingered before I had the chance to make any amendments.

What does Xbox even mean?
To me, "Xbox" is a console, designed by Microsoft, called "Xbox".
I don't know what it means at Microsoft, and their gaming division makes more money than ever.
And who will buy the new Xbox consoles? Only some Americans.

Yes, because dividing its dwindling user base into two platforms was a very good idea to begin with...

Next generation of PCs? Does that mean we're finally getting the PC 2?

Changing their marketing strategy to Xbox on PC says a lot about what they're really doing and aiming for. That's basically the 3rd place if you categorize all PC games,
1-PC
2-Emulators
3-Xbox on PC

Yes. People will buy Xbox to play Playstation games.

Edit: I can't fucking post that. You know what. Ignore this. It's been a long day blokes. A long day. May Eckobo-Kun live long and prosper. I'm excited to see what they actually announce but I'm tired of them expecting a hip hip hurray for announcing that they aren't going to end their console business. Show us what you got, I don't think they have a device that can stand up to the scrutiny of the modern console market. Any one small thing wrong, including price, and people hate you. It sucks.
