For Xbox, the answer seems to lie in a staggering commitment: an order of 50 million AMD chips for its next-generation console, the Xbox Magnus. This bold move signals more than just a hardware upgrade, it’s a declaration of intent to redefine the boundaries between consoles and gaming PCs. Imagine a device that caters to both the simplicity craved by console loyalists and the customization demanded by PC enthusiasts. With the Xbox Magnus, Microsoft is betting big on a future where gamers no longer have to choose between power and accessibility."

So it's a Beelink mini-PC. |

Not flame that's all Intel, AMD and Nvidia care about: they do NOT want to keep the staff on hand to provide tech support or warranty repairs to end users, so they cut deals with companies they trust to do that.
That's why Intel NUCs are made by Asus now. Intel dun laid off all its folks who used to do customer support for those devices. |

Date: November 11th, 2025 2:35 PM Author: pearl 180 masturbator weed whacker These have to be leftover Strix Halo chips AMD doesn't know what to do with. That platform is pure jank for anything but light gaming, and AMD has nothing else in the pipeline. They don't have a desktop platform that can support those chips, so they are only being sold in laptops and mini-PCs for now. It makes sense that they toss them into consoles and try to sell them to poors for $500 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5796301&forum_id=2/en-en/#49420859) |

We already know what graphics architecture AMD is wedded to and we know its limitations. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5796301&forum_id=2/en-en/#49420899) |
