"textContent": "I thought I would put together available info/leaks/speculation on the next xbox\n\n\n\n 1. Xbox pro ruled out for current generation. In other words Series X is the pro model\n 2. In long run Microsoft (xbox &/ surface teams) working on an xbox o/s, that could be used on an Intel Lunar Lake handheld, AMD Strix halo NUC or mediatek/nvidia handheld\n 3. In the meanwhile Microsoft committed to atleast 1 more big console, most likely in 2026 — since pro is ruled out for current gen\n 4. Assuming Xbox next in 2026:\n 1. 3nm process node\n 2. Zen 5c (8x or 12x) — 2026 too early for zen 6c\n 3. 24 gb RAM ???\n 4. UDNA 1 or RDNA 5 GPU\n 5. Raster matches or beats 7900xtx\n 6. RT matches or beats 4080 super\n 7. AI based upscaling like PSSR / DLSS / Xess\n 8. 2 TB storage\n 9. Backward compatibility of storage cartridge? — this would be a huge bonus, but I don't expect this\n 10. What else ????\n\n",
