We have only recently started seeing ARM CPUs targeting the performance levels of x86 designs.
The last part of the sentence is whats important here.
Remember, this is a console were talking about, not a PC.
In the world of handheld consoles, long battery life is at least as important as satisfactory performance.
For example, Apple’s M1offershalf of the CPU performance of the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
Moving to ARM wouldnt mean abandoning Xboxs impressive backward compatibility program either.
After all, Microsoft is no stranger to in-house ARM designs.
