The next generation sounds expensive (Sony\/Metro)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Details have leaked concerning a powerful new AMD chip, which an insider believes is connected to Microsoft<\/a>’s new Xbox<\/a> console.<\/p>\n

The idea of another console generation might seem premature at this point, considering both the PlayStation 5<\/a> and Xbox Series X\/S have barely hit their full potential, but the next wave of consoles might only be a couple of years away at this point.<\/p>\n

Sony<\/a>’s PlayStation 6 is expected to arrive in 2027<\/a>, while Microsoft’s next console<\/a> could launch even sooner. Both companies have already started talking about their next gen plans, with the latter promising the ‘largest technical leap’<\/a> ever seen in a hardware generation.<\/p>\n

Those comments will likely end up being classic Microsoft posturing (most people think it’s related to AI) but a leak of a new AMD chip has hinted at what might be under the hood of the next Xbox.<\/p>\n

This leak originates from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead, who previously outed specs around the Switch 2<\/a>. In a new video, he claims to have details about a custom Zen 6 APU (accelerated processing unit) from AMD, codenamed Magnus.<\/p>\n

During the video, the YouTuber highlights how the APU has an 384-bit bus, which is used to transfer memory efficiently. As he points out, this is significantly larger than the Xbox Series X’s 320-bit bus, which is the largest on the console market right now – although one was previously used in the Xbox One X.<\/p>\n

He also highlights various other powerful components, including an unusual total of 11 CPU cores (split between three Zen6 cores and eight Zen6c cores), while the system on a chip is a large 144mm\u00b2, which is connected via a bridge die to a ‘massive’ 264mm\u00b2 graphics die.<\/p>\n
