AMD tipped to provide chips for PS6, new PlayStation handheld and the next Xbox
A couple of weeks ago, the YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead posted a video on the unannounced AMD Zen 6 APU codenamed "Magnus" that would reportedly power the next Xbox or PlayStation 6. Now, he's returned with an update that confirms Magnus will power the new Xbox, while two different AMD APUs are alleged to feature in the PS6 and a PlayStation handheld. There is a lot of speculation in the update surrounding various codenames and Shakespearean characters. I'll break it down below plus details on what AMD's next APU could look like. According to Moore's Law is Dead, there are two groups of codenames that could be the PS6 and a potential handheld; Orion and Canis or Robin and Robin Plus. In the former set, Orion is the codename for the PS6 and Canis would power the handheld. Another known console leaker, Kepler L2 seemed to confirmed the Canis naming convention on the NeoGaf forums. They also claimed in another post that Canis has a monolithic design, meaning that the single silicon would contain the CPU and GPU on the on the same node. Different compared to say the AMD Ryzen SoC which has multiple smaller dies or chiplets connected to one another. The Robin/Robin Plus moniker is interesting in so far that AMD reportedly uses Shakespearean characters as codenames for PlayStation chips. For the PS5 the company allegedly used Oberon and Oberon Plus. Robin is a character from A Midsummer Night's Dream, though Puck would be the more well known name. Sony and AMD did recently announce a partnership for the next PlayStation console. It should be powerful, as we recently reported that the next Sony console could utilize up to 24GB of RAM. Currently, the PS5 uses 16GB of RAM. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. With the PlayStation out of the way, the AMD Zen 6 APU that Moore's Law is Dead leaked in mid-July has some more details now. THe APU will reportedly have a 3nm RDNA "AT2 GPU die and will have a 192-bit memory bus, and not the 384-bit bus that was revealed earlier, which would be smaller than the 320-bit bus on the Xbox Series X. Though we've seen speculation that AMD might split the bus. Previously, it was alleged that Magnus would feature 11 CPU cores, with three Zen 6 cores and eight Zen 6 cores. Microsoft and AMD announced in June that the companies were partnering on the future of Xbox gaming including improving Xbox Cloud Gaming. We should see more of this future when Xbox and Asus show off the ROG Xbox Ally which features an AMD Ryzen Z2 chip in the handheld console.

'I'd say chances are good': While the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team is still figuring out where to go next, DLC is likely
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently doing a rather well-deserved victory lap after one million sales and stellar Steam numbers—which is heartening to see from an ambitious AA studio. I went in not expecting too much myself, and came out delighted (and a little dazed) after 60 hours of JRPG goodness, hankering for more. My hunger might be sated, eventually. During her own celebrations, writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen took to Instagram to answer any questions the grateful public put forward to her—and one such answer (thanks, Vice) signals that DLC is a very real possibility in the game's future. Shared on NeoGaf by user Draugoth, Svedberg-Yen explained to one expansion-hungry player that while "Nothing concrete" is in the works just yet, and that the team is "honestly still just trying to process everything that's happening", it's a little more than never-say-never. "It's been a lot to take in! We've always said if there is strong desire from the players that we would love to do something more, and based on the response so far, I'd say chances are good." Those staggered-yet-delight vibes grok with how the studio's been responding to its breakout success on social media, with the official Clair Obscur X account writing "We had a nice, easy morning following a totally normal weekend" next to a picture of a Gestral from the game recreating the 'This is Fine' meme. Personally, I'm psyched. To keep things as vague as possible (I think Clair Obscur's ending ought to be experienced personally) this is a game with plenty of room to expand upon its killer final act. I don't think every story has to be resolved, mind, but the sweetness of the game's yarn has been deliciously bitter, and I wouldn't mind digging deep into that pain some more. Still. For now, it seems like Sandfall Interactive's just counting its blessings and figuring out where the heck to go next—a new route on the expedition of this game's development, if you will. And chances are, I'm going to be deeply invested in whichever shores the good ship Sandfall lands upon.
