DF Weekly: Xbox’s new 6nm processor emphasises the console price challenges to come

“Series X 6nm! YESSSSSS! We found it!” Not my words, but the excited exclamations of Austin Evans, with a brand-new video that tears down the new disc-less edition of the Xbox Series X, revealing what’s generally believed to be the first major console revision for Microsoft since 2020. It’s an interesting contrast with Sony, who have revised the PlayStation 5 annually, moving to a 6nm processor way back in 2022 and delivering a further-revised ‘Slim’ edition a year later. 6nm silicon brings with it apparent cost-reductions and efficiency improvements – but this is no game-changing update in the way it was with the Xbox One S and the PS4 Slim. In concert with a $599 Xbox Series X 2TB, a $449 disc-less Series X and a $699 PlayStation 5 Pro, the days of console cost-reductions are clearly over and the whole nature of what next-gen will actually be is up for debate.
