A NeoGAF leak suggests Microsoft’s Xbox Project Helix would be a console–PC hybrid with no custom APU, using off‑the‑shelf RDNA5 and Zen6 cores. If true, this could enable cross‑platform tech like FSR Diamond and blur exclusive lines between PC and Xbox, though details remain unconfirmed.
A Moore's Law is Dead leak claims the PS6 Orion will offer roughly 2.5–3× PS5 raster power and 6–12× PS5 RT performance, via a RDNA5 GPU around 34–40 TFLOPs and 52–54 CUs. The handheld PS6 Canis APU is said to use four Zen 6c cores and 16 RDNA5 CUs at 1.6–2 GHz with LPDDR5X memory. Mass production is reportedly set to begin by 2027, with possible launch-time pricing or supply constraints, and no expected delay to 2029 per sources.
Insider Gaming reports that Sony’s upcoming PS6 may not use AMD’s RDNA 5 GPU in full, instead delivering a hybrid RDNA1-based design with ray tracing. Rumors also suggest the handheld could feature up to 24 GB LPDDR5X and up to 30 GB GDDR7, be dockable, and run PS5 titles, though overall power may not match PS5. A launch window around 2027 or later is possible, with AMD signaling a 2027 timeframe for the next Xbox as context but no firm date.
AMD says the next-gen Xbox with a semi-custom SoC is on track for a 2027 launch to blend console and PC ecosystems, while Valve’s Steam Machine is due early this year; with rising hardware costs and a soft market, Microsoft faces a tough sell to make a premium Xbox feel like a must-have major shift for players and developers.
Leaks suggest the PS6 will have performance comparable to AMD's RX 9070XT, while the next Xbox may surpass it with a GPU similar to NVIDIA's RTX 5080, both powered by AMD's RDNA5 architecture, which promises significant improvements and new features over previous generations.
Rumors suggest that the next-generation Xbox, expected to launch in 2026, will feature AMD Zen5 and RDNA5 architectures. Microsoft is reportedly speeding up the release to compete with the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro launch in late 2024. While Microsoft has confirmed plans for RDNA5 graphics architecture, it is still undecided whether to use ARM64 or AMD x64 Zen6 based core design. The console's launch push to 2026 may result in the use of Zen5 architecture instead of Zen6. Sony is also said to be working on an updated PS5 Pro console with upgraded RDNA3 graphics.
