Oh wow, so something wild happened today. Microsoft was like, “Hey, let’s change things up with AMD” and boom—they’re teaming up for more Xbox stuff. What does that even mean? I guess more consoles and gadgets? No clue how long this shindig’s gonna last, but it’s definitely for years. Mind blown yet?
Sarah Bond, who’s the big boss over at Xbox, made it official. She’s all excited about working with AMD for some new tech for, you know, Xbox consoles you play on your couch or in your hands. It’s supposed to be mind-blowing, all forward-thinking and whatnot. Imagine having power in the palm of your hand—practically.
The fun part? This announcement confirms Microsoft’s already cooking up new Xbox consoles. And yeah, it’s with AMD again. The processors? Super custom, and way more oomph than the old ones. We’re talking fancy Zen CPU cores and Radeon graphics, sticking to what works but better. Backwards compatibility? Check. You won’t have to toss away your old favorites anytime soon.
Bet there are more surprises, like portable Xbox consoles. Yep, they’re diving into that pool with Valve and others who’ve been splashing around since Steam Deck. Not a massive market, yet somehow it sparks joy at Xbox HQ. Why? Guess they sense a golden opportunity. I mean, a console you can take anywhere, powered by this custom chip wizardry? Count me in.
Oh, speaking of newness, Xbox is hinting their next stuff could drop around holiday 2026. But then again, who knows? It’s a wild guess, but that’s how patterns roll sometimes. New Zen 6 CPU and RDNA 5 GPU might be in the mix. Speculation, right?
At the heart of it, Xbox is aiming for freedom, letting folks game on anything—console, handheld, PC, cloud, even Larry’s fridge if it’s smart enough. It’s like they’re breaking out of the “one device” jail, making gaming a wherever-you-are experience. Collaboration with the Windows crew? Yep, it’s all about making Windows the ultimate gaming HQ. Imagine that.
And, oh, don’t forget to keep tabs on Tom’s Hardware for all the juicy details. It’s the go-to for reviews, news, and I dunno, maybe more quirky updates like this one. Stay tuned!
