Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, and Dr Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, confirmed at the CES that they will continue to collaborate in the future.

AMD introduced their Radeon VII graphics card at CES, but we’ll discuss that separately. During Su’s opening speech, she invited Spencer on the podium, and he said the following: „As a company, we look at the opportunity in gaming and one of the things I want to say is when we think who our partners are, we think about great companies that do great work but also do it in the right way. You’re somebody that I respected a ton in this industry and I’ve seen the way you’ve led AMD, and I think having a partner like AMD that works so collaboratively with us on our future technology, but also as a cultural level I think fits so well, it’s awesome to have you as a partner. As we look forward to future platforms that we’re building and work that we’re doing, the partnership and the innovations that we’ve seen in the past have led to what we’ve been able to do today, I think they’re going to be critically important to our future endeavours. I’m really looking forward to showing those to people more in the future.”

With these comments, Spencer effectively confirmed that the next Xbox console (or consoles?!) will be using AMD technology, just like how the Xbox One (and the PlayStation 4) does. According to rumours, the Xbox Scarlett will have a Zen 2 CPU and a next-gen GPU, but it’s not official yet.

We’re curious if the rumours about the Anaconda codenamed (next-gen equivalent of the Xbox One X), the Lockhart (next-gen Xbox One S), the Maverick (a streaming console without a disc drive, it was discussed before), and the cheaper, xCloud streaming-focused Xbox One S, will be true or not.
