Overview
- AMD CEO Lisa Su said on an earnings call that development of Microsoft’s semi-custom Xbox SoC is progressing well to support a 2027 launch.
- The comment indicates AMD’s readiness for 2027 but does not confirm Microsoft will release the console that year.
- Microsoft and AMD are in a multi-year effort to co-engineer silicon for future Xbox devices and next-generation Xbox Cloud Gaming servers.
- Xbox president Sarah Bond previously described the next hardware as a very premium, high-end experience, and reporting has characterized it as a hybrid console-PC concept.
- Supply constraints, including RAM pressures tied to AI and data-center demand, and earlier documents pointing to 2028 underscore that timing remains uncertain.
