Doubtful of raw and the single card slot. If it has a nice burst rate, it'll support cf express I'm sure.

Raw noise reduction. Canon didn’t on the R. They did on the R6 and newer. The R10 shares the same 80D base design for example, but, has a DIGICX backend permitting full 4k readout. The raw nr improves its noise handling by a decent amount. They could pull the same truck here and reuse that old “cheap” fab, again.

They could dump a 1DX2 or 1DX3 sensor in it, too.

The rumour is clear about 24MP, so it is not the R sensor, and not a 1DX2/3 sensor either.  It’s full frame so not the APS-C 24MP sensor.  That leaves the R6ii sensor or a development of it.  Little point in speculating otherwise.
