Intel might build a semi-custom APU for the next Xbox console. After all, Xbox didn’t sign a new contract with AMD.

Xbox will release a newer version of the series X console this year. Furthermore, the next-gen Xbox console is said to arrive by 2028. So, the new version might have an Intel APU featuring a chip with CPU, GPU, and NPU.

The next-gen Xbox console could be the first one on the market to use AI tiles as a result of having an Intel APU chip. After all, the NPU built by Intel can improve the overall performance of a device, and other functions as well, such as power control. Thus, it could eventually lead to performance differences between the next-gen Xbox console and PS 6.
