The next generation of Xbox games consoles is to be based on an ARM processor from Qualcomm's Snapdragon series, according to a job advertisement from Microsoft for the position of sales manager.

The next generation of Xbox game consoles, which will follow on from the Xbox Series X and Series S released in November 2020, will be based on an ARM processor from Qualcomm's Snapdragon series, according to a job advertisement from Microsoft for the position of Sales Manager for new Surface and Xbox series products. This information comes from well-known industry insider Brad Sams from software developer Stardock.

In his latest YouTube video, Brad Sams, who works for Stardock Corporation, a software developer for Windows applications founded in 1991, goes into more detail about the background. It goes on to say ...

The next generation of Xbox will support ARM processors from Qualcomm, according to a new job posting. As Microsoft continues to develop its strategy for the Xbox, more and more pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. - Brad Sams -

Whether this is really a classic games console or more of a handheld is, of course, difficult to answer. The eight-minute YouTube video provides further information and background on this topic.

Since Microsoft no longer brings out any good games and sells the few they have on other platforms, why do you need a new Xbox?

Good for $ARM and $9984, but X-Box in general -> 🚮

Fact check by Grok3:
"The claim in the PC Games Hardware article that the next-generation Xbox will use an ARM processor from Qualcomm is most likely false, or at least misleading. Reliable insider reports from Windows Central and IGN refute the speculation and confirm that Microsoft will stick with the x86 architecture to avoid compatibility issues. The Qualcomm job posting could refer to a separate device, such as an Xbox handheld, but not the main console. The speculation arose from vague wording in the job ad, but has been debunked by more recent information."
