Overview

  • On AMD’s earnings call, CEO Lisa Su said development of Microsoft’s next‑gen Xbox using an AMD semi‑custom SoC is progressing well to support a 2027 launch.
  • Outlets emphasized that the comment indicates supplier readiness rather than an official release commitment from Microsoft.
  • Microsoft and AMD have a strategic multi‑year partnership to co‑engineer silicon for future consoles, handheld devices, and Xbox Cloud Gaming servers.
  • Xbox president Sarah Bond has framed the next hardware as a very premium, hybrid console/PC experience, with specifics and timing still unannounced.
  • Reporting highlights tight DRAM and SSD supply and prior documents pointing to 2028 as potential schedule risks, and AMD also noted Valve’s AMD‑powered Steam Machine remains on track for early 2026.
