Part of the massive leak of documents regarding Xbox plans included not only a new revision of an existing console or an upcoming game, but also relatively more distant proposals. On several slides We are talking about the next generation of Xbox consoles, which does not yet have an official name.
In it, Microsoft wants to focus on broader involvement of the cloud and the digital sphere in general, because it already plans to remove the update mechanics of the Series X. Perhaps the most interesting information is that MS considers the existing x86-64 architecture as a processor (in particular Zen 6 from AMD), and more energy-efficient ARM, which is used, for example, in mobile phones and laptops from Apple. But the transition to ARM, of course, will mean the need to solve the problem of backward compatibility. At the same time, Microsoft is trying to solve the problem of large versus small cores. The specifications should have been decided by the end of last year, but unfortunately we don’t know how Microsoft decided.
As for the rest of the parameters, the GPU is again supposed to be from AMD, although MS was considering whether to use a chip developed jointly with AMD, or a directly already released chip from AMD, specifically mentioning the RDNA 5 architecture. Interestingly, Microsoft is also writing about a special NPU , that is, a block for AI calculations. Custom scaling using machine learning is also mentioned. According to MS, other graphics innovations named would be “next-gen” ray tracing or general dynamic lighting.
According to the documents, the release of the new Xbox should be expected in 2028.
