"the next Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, will have a custom AMD chip with "an order of magnitude increase in raytracing performance" up to and including path tracing, and a next-gen version of AMD's FSR upscaling technology that relies on machine learning and includes frame generation for the console."
"Project Helix, which the company says will play both console and PC games. That announcement about Helix was made by new Xbox boss Asha Sharma, who took over as Microsoft's gaming CEO in February. Former Xbox boss Phil Spencer is retiring, and former Xbox president Sarah Bond, who had been seen as a potential successor to Spencer, also announced her departure."
"the next-generation Xbox would be more like a PC and noted that it would be a "a very premium, very high-end curated experience." In her first memo since taking over Xbox, Sharma promised a "renewed commitment to Xbox starting with console," and in her post about Helix, Sharma said the console would "lead in performance.""
