According to a new leak, the next-generation Xbox console will be more powerful than the PlayStation 6, but it might be more expensive.

In the same video where he claimed the next Xbox console is targeting a 2027 release, leaker and YouTuber 'Moore's Law is Dead' revealed what he claimed was the AMD Magnus APU, the main processor for Microsoft's next console, which combines a CPU and a GPU (thanks, VGC).

While detailing the main specs, he said the processor will be 46% larger than the one supposedly set to be featured in the PS6, and that it will be more powerful than Sony's next console.

However, due to its size and power, he believes the next Xbox console might cost more than the PS6, and somewhere between $800 and $1200.

"It should be stronger than the PS6, but at the same time, it will also be more expensive because of this larger size and its use of bridge dies and likely a larger RAM capacity compared to the PS6, at least if it wants to work well as a PC console hybrid," he said.

The YouTuber's comments follow earlier speculation that Microsoft's next piece of hardware will be more like a PC, which could also feature a "TV-friendly shell" that also "has a specific set of specs in mind", although at the time, there were no details regarding its processor or its size.

They also claimed that if Microsoft pushed the Magnus APU, it could "end up notably faster than PlayStation 6"; however, "even in extreme scenarios, I don't think it will be more than about a third faster than the PlayStation 6 console."
