About this tag
The Magnus APU is a custom AMD processor codenamed for Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console, expected to launch around 2027. Based on leaks and reports, this APU combines Zen 6 CPU cores, an RDNA5 GPU, and a dedicated NPU for AI workloads, with configurations supporting up to 48 GB of GDDR7-class memory. The Magnus-powered device is described as a hybrid that boots into a TV-first Xbox interface while running a full Windows 11 PC underneath, blurring the line between console and PC. Discussions on WindowsForum cover the technical specifications, the convergence of Xbox and Windows engineering, and the potential for third-party devices using the same platform.
