In the Strategic Highlights section of the report for the second quarter of 2025, AMD mentions a “new multi-year collaboration with Microsoft” focused on next-generation devices. This includes consoles, PCs, and laptops with the Xbox seal, which points directly to a much more ambitious expansion of the ecosystem than what we’ve seen so far.
