The next-generation Xbox will be powered by an AMD "Jaguar" chip— Microsoft's long-rumored CPU of choice for its next console — and won't be compatible with current Xbox 360 games, according to a report from Bloomberg. Microsoft's next-gen console is said to use the same AMD system-on-a-chip that will be utilized in the PlayStation 4 , which Sony unveiled in February. The x86 architecture chip powering the PS4 is an eight core, single-chip custom AMD processor, according to Sony. Bloomberg reports that the game discs made for the Xbox 360 — which is powered by an IBM PowerPC CPU — won't be compatible with the new system. The current Xbox 360 supports some original Xbox games through software emulation. According to The Verge , Microsoft is planning an Xbox-related announcement event in May.
