IT Home March 6 News, YouTube channel “Moore’s Law is Dead(” latest leak claims that the next-generation Xbox codenamed “Project Helix” is expected to see a significant performance leap: rasterization performance is estimated to reach 6 times that of the Xbox Series X, and ray tracing performance is expected to improve by 20 times.

In its latest technical analysis, the channel states that the new console will be equipped with AMD’s Magnus APU, attempting to further narrow the gap between consoles and PC gaming through a substantial performance boost. However, higher performance also means a higher price — based on current estimates, the device is expected to retail for $1,000-$1,200 when launched in 2027)IT Home note: the current exchange rate is approximately 6,910 to 8,292 RMB(.

Due to the adoption of the RDNA5 architecture, which offers about a 65% performance increase per compute unit, the total computing power of the Magnus APU will see a significant jump, even with only about a 30% increase in the number of compute units compared to the Series X, and may even surpass the “120FPS” target of PlayStation 6.

“Moore’s Law is Dead” indicates that the new console’s CPU is expected to adopt a hybrid architecture, including up to 3 Zen6 cores and 8 Zen6c cores. This design aims to meet the operational needs of traditional console gaming while also accommodating PC gaming environments, requiring greater processing power.

The blogger cites information that AMD plans to set a target price of about $550 for a successor GPU to the 9070XT, using the same chip architecture as the Magnus APU. When factoring in CPU chip and memory costs, and assuming no profit margins, Microsoft could theoretically bring the price of Project Helix down to $999)The current exchange rate is approximately 6,903 RMB(. However, such pricing is unlikely to be realized, and the final retail price is more likely to be around $1,000, and probably not exceeding $1,500)The current exchange rate is approximately 10,365 RMB(.
