A recent report from the Moore's Law is Dead channel claims that the upcoming Xbox will outperform PlayStation 6 in terms of power, although it will also be more expensive. The system aims to combine the best of a console with the versatility of a PC.
According to the leak, the console would be powered by the AMD Magnus APU chip, a processor that integrates CPU and GPU into a single module. This would allow for superior performance, but would increase manufacturing costs.
¿Qué se sabe de la nueva Xbox?
Power and design
The Magnus APU would be 46% larger than what Sony is planning for the PS6. Under maximum conditions, it could reach speeds up to 30% higher than Sony's console. In practice, the difference would be more noticeable on high refresh rate desktop monitors, allowing up to 144 FPS compared to the PS6's 120 FPS.
The new Xbox is presented as a hybrid between a console and a PC, capable of running games from the Xbox Store as well as platforms like Steam or Epic Games Store. In addition, it could operate with an optimized version of Windows 11, bringing it closer to the "PC-console" concept.
Price and market
The estimated value of the console would be between $800 and $1,200, depending on configuration and memory. This Microsoft strategy could put pressure on PC manufacturers by offering performance similar to RTX 5080 or 5090 cards at a lower price.
La futura Xbox sería un híbrido entre consola y PC
MLID highlights that the new approach seeks to blur the line between console and computer, prioritizing power, compatibility, and a comprehensive ecosystem under the Xbox brand. This trend aims to attract both traditional gamers and PC users.
