Through a leak (from TUM_APISAK), the existence of a chip called AMD Gonzalo, a SoC with a Zen core and GPU Navi in ​​the same package, has been revealed .

Details of AMD Gonzalo appear - It would be the new SoC of the next XBOX

At CES 2019, Microsoft confirmed that it plans to continue working with AMD on future products, indicating that the next generation of XBOX will be another AMD-powered system.

For future consoles, AMD has plenty of hardware updates to choose from, with an upgrade from the Xbox One Jaguar CPU core to AMD's new Zen architecture, which is high on the list. of updates to the XBOX consoles and also PlayStation 4. As for the graphics, Microsoft also has the option to adopt the Navi architecture, taking on the useful features of Vega in the process, such as 2x FP16 computing performance, what AMD calls Rapid Packed Math.

TUM_APISAK, a reliable source that has already leaked other PC hardware, has revealed a new chip called AMD Gonzalo, a new gaming SoC that could act as the basis for a future XBOX console.

The AMD code 2G16002CE8JA2_32 / 10/10 / 10_13E9 can mean many things, but based on older AMD products we can guess that the "G" stands for game, with the D in the older AMD product codes referring to Desktop (Desktop), M for mobile, etc. The 32 probably represents a 3.2GHz turbo clock speed, while the 10_13E9 is a potential reference to a Radeon graphics chip, with TUM_APISAK referring to it as the Navi 10 Lite.

It is currently unknown whether this chip is based on AMD's Zen 2 architecture or not, but the Gonzalo code refers to an eight-core processor with an unknown L3 cache size. If this product is 7nm, the use of Zen 2 cores is more likely.

Not only Microsoft could use AMD technology for its console. Sony is rumored to be a major investor in developing AMD's Navi GPU architecture, making it possible for this silicon to serve as the foundation for its PlayStation 5 console.
