New Xbox to outperform PS6 in performance. AMD leak reveals details

Information about the next-generation Xbox processor appeared on the Moore's Law is Dead YouTube channel and concerns the APU codenamed Magnus, which AMD is preparing specifically for the new Microsoft console.

According to the leak, the Magnus APU is currently in the design stage. Production will start in 2027, and the console is expected to be released in the second half of the same year.

The new chip will receive 68 compute units (CUs) of the RDNA 5 architecture and at least 24 MB of L2 Cache. The central processor will combine 8 Zen 6C cores and 3 Zen 6 cores. The memory controller will support up to 48 GB of RAM with a 192-bit bus, although the final amount of RAM in the console may be less.

According to the source, the APU's power consumption will be between 250 and 350 W, but these figures are preliminary.

If we compare it with data on the future PS6, a lot depends on the frequencies, but Moore's Law is Dead claims that the new Xbox will be about a third faster than the Sony console. At the same time, the Microsoft device will most likely be more expensive.

Earlier, the same source noted that neither Xbox nor PS6 will be able to reach the level of RTX 5090 or 5080 video cards.
