President Xbox Sarah Bond announces a partnership and confirms that AMD will be concomitant silicon with Microsoft on a wide portfolio of devices that includes a modern generation Xbox console.
This confirms that Microsoft sticks to the console creation industry and will release the successor of the Xbox Series X | S to go against the inevitable PlayStation 6.
Bond promises that this will allow “deeper visual quality, engaging gameplay and impressions powered by artificial intelligence”, and also notes that platforms and ecosystems “will not be associated with one store or device and fully compatible with the existing library of Xbox games”.
This is largely a confirmation of the direction in which Microsoft is heading, following the announcements at Summer Game Fest. There, Microsoft revealed ROG Ally X, a modern portable computer with Windows developed by ASUS and with branding and Xbox integration. They also doubled Xbox Play anywhere, a scheme in which you can buy a game in Microsoft and play it both on Xbox consoles and a computer with Windows … except that they currently mean it as Xbox PC to harmonize the approach.
Holding AMD has a great sense. At the moment, AMD processors are running on the PC market, and their GPU has made great progress with the latest generation, which caught up with NVIDIA in areas such as nervous growth and tracking of rays. Their work lasts with Project Redstone for the Radeon 9000 seriesAlthough Microsoft is of course private for behind -the -scenes work also performed for future generations.
Like Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S, Microsoft and AMD will develop future chipsets for Xbox consoles and devices-like AMD and Sony develop PlayStation console systems in the last two generations. What generally looks is AMD, providing technology and Microsoft reflects the configuration, potentially pressing some key functions that may come from the future processor and GPU technology, reversing it back to the fixed console platform.
So Microsoft stays on a more conventional console, it sounds and will be compatible at the back. Good news!
