- A recent report suggests AMD engineers don’t hold Microsoft employees in high regard.
- It is said that they believe Microsoft hopes to see AMD do all the work for Xbox.
- On the other hand, they enjoy working with Sony and PlayStation.
Xbox has recently been the subject of mass criticism and skepticism. Following rumors of dwindling focus on the hardware division, Xbox is still said to be working on new console hardware for the next generation.
However, it seems things are far from smooth at the Xbox hardware division. According to an insider, AMD and Xbox have had a few clashes, with the former not on board with Xbox’s approach.
Why it matters: Xbox’s position in the hardware market is already dire, so the gaming giant cannot afford to lose AMD’s partnership and support.
According to insider Moore’s Law is Dead, AMD does not necessarily enjoy working with Microsoft. Although the two have a deal in place for next-generation hardware, they don’t always see eye to eye.
The insider says that AMD engineers don’t have very high opinions of Microsoft engineers. They seem to believe that Microsoft wants AMD engineers to do all the work for it when it comes to developing compelling hardware products.
They(Microsoft) want AMD to do all the work.
Moore’s Law is Dead also noted that certain AMD professionals believe Microsoft employs engineers who fail to make it to companies like Nvidia and Sony. On the other hand, they are more open to interacting with PlayStation staff.
What makes this statement so interesting is that AMD and PlayStation’s partnership appears to showcase the exact opposite scenario. The two have collaborated on technologies like PSSR and FSR 4, helping each other push new gaming technologies forward.
Nonetheless, as said earlier, AMD is returning as Microsoft’s partner for next-generation hardware. As the release date for future Xbox consoles approaches, it will be interesting to see what innovations the two bring to the table.
What do you think about AMD employees potentially looking down on Microsoft engineers? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
