Leaks about the next generation of Xbox are back, and this time they’re accompanied by an image with supposed technical specifications of the future APU known as Xbox Magnus. The information comes from the well-known insider Moore’s Law Is Dead, who has shared the details in one of his latest videos along with a technical slide that’s already circulating on social media.

Although there’s no official confirmation from Microsoft or AMD, the data points to a significant leap forward from Xbox Series.

Leaked Xbox Magnus Specifications

According to the image shared by the source, these are the main features:

• 408 mm² of total silicon (144 mm² SoC in N3P + 264 mm² GPU in N3C/P).

• Estimated TDP between 250 and 350 W (not definitive).

• Up to 68 Compute Units RDNA 5 (possible configuration with 70 physical CU).

• At least 24 MB of L2 cache for the GPU.

• CPU with up to 3 Zen 6 cores + 8 Zen 6c cores and 12 MB of L3.

• Memory bus of 192 bits with up to 48 GB of GDDR7.

• Dedicated NPU with up to 110 TOPS at 6W.

• Target launch: 2027.

One of the most striking points is the adoption of GDDR7, which would mean a significant leap in bandwidth. The presence of a dedicated NPU also stands out, reinforcing the importance of artificial intelligence in the next generation.

Technical Comparison: Xbox Magnus vs. Xbox Series X

Below is a comparative table with the official data from Xbox Series X versus the leaked specifications of Xbox Magnus (remembering that the latter are not confirmed):

On paper, the leap would be significant in both architecture and memory capacity, as well as dedicated AI functions. The reduction of the bus to 192 bits could be compensated by the higher speed of GDDR7 and internal improvements in cache management.

For now, it’s worth emphasizing: these are leaked data, not from Microsoft. If similar figures are finally confirmed, the next Xbox would aim for an ambitious evolution, with a clear focus on graphics power and advanced technologies for the second half of the decade.
