Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that the release time of the next generation of Xbox consoles may be later than PS6, and YouTube bloggers @moore in response to this matter'S Law is Dead revealed more details. The blogger said that Microsoft had not signed a contract with AMD for next-generation console chips until last month, as Microsoft tried to find other chip vendors to force AMD to lower its chips. This means that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console may have only recently entered the design phase, while Sony has already signed several contracts with AMD for the post-PS5 generation.
The blogger also revealed that this time Microsoft seems to be taking Xbox game console chips more seriously, and Intel has bid for the related business of producing chips for the game console after receiving the news, and promised to give Microsoft more affordable ** and more production capacity. Clearly, Intel sees this as a good opportunity to drive both ARC graphics and chip production businesses.
While Microsoft hasn't signed a contract with any company for chips for next-generation Xbox consoles, the blogger believes that Microsoft is likely to choose AMD again, as switching to Intel's chips for next-generation Xbox consoles could cause compatibility issues for some games and software. However, the blogger said that the information has not been officially confirmed, and called on everyone to be skeptical of such rumors.
The rumor that the next generation of Xbox game consoles is more credible is that the court disclosed relevant documents in the 2023 Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which shows that Microsoft plans to release the next generation of Xbox game consoles in 2028, and the CPU of this console may be based on ARM64 or X64, the latter will be AMD's Zen 6 architecture, and the GPU may be based on AMD's graphics IP or RDNA 5 architecture.
