During AMD’s keynote address at CES 2019, Microsoft’s head of gaming Phil Spencer came on stage and briefly discussed a partnership with AMD that would involve “future platforms."
Speaking of AMD, Spencer said, “As we look forward to future platforms that we’re building and work that we’re doing, the partnerships and the innovations that we’ve seen in the past have led to what we’ve been able to do today, I think they’re going to be critically important to our future endeavors. I’m really looking forward to showing those to people more in the future.”
While Spencer didn’t outright say that the next Xbox would use AMD technology, it seems highly likely AMD will supply the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) for Microsoft’s next gaming box. After all, AMD provided semi-custom AMD APUs based on its Jaguar microarchitecture for Xbox One and Xbox One S while an upgraded version of this APU was used for Xbox One X. AMD similarly supplies Sony with APUs for the PlayStation 4 family of consoles.
