XBOX by Shinji Okazaki on Sep 20, 2026 AMD and Xbox are working together on a next-generation chip designed to power the Xbox Project Helix. The chipset is expected to combine CPU, GPU, and AI technology in a single design to improve rendering, resolution, frame rates, and how games handle large worlds. Project Helix is expected to cover multiple hardware types, including console, PC, and handheld devices. AMD has leaked its roadmap for Zen 6, which will lead technology and performance across desktop, PC, and console. Surprisingly for Xbox, AMD has worked with Xbox to build an APU, a system-on-chip meant to power the Project Helix family of devices across console, PC, and handheld. This chip, codenamed AMD Magnus, is part of the AMD Medusa family. It includes rendering features that could change how Xbox games are presented. The Xbox Magnus chip could use the 10-core Medusa configuration, utilizing 3 Zen 6 cores to help bring large worlds to life through demanding game logic. Meanwhile, the rest could handle the operating system, frame-rate draw calls, and performance tasks. Xbox Magnus chip for Helix has 3 Zen 6 cores and 8 Zen 6C cores, for a total of 11 cores that can be multithreaded to 22 threads. The CPU is built around 12MB of L3 cache, which is suited to a console memory pool. What makes the Xbox Magnus chip important is its use of hybrid cores, mixing Zen 6 and Zen...
