Xbox inked what it called a strategic, multi-year partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to develop custom silicon chips that will power a portfolio of next-generation devices, including future Xbox consoles.

"Together with AMD, we are advancing the state of art in gaming silicon to deliver the next generation of graphics innovation," Xbox President Sarah Bond said Tuesday.

Terms of the agreement weren't disclosed. The deal comes as Xbox said it is ramping up investment in its next-generation hardware lineup across console, handheld, PC, cloud and accessories.

The new chips will incorporate artificial intelligence to enhance visual quality and enable more immersive gameplay experiences, Bond said. She added that the upcoming devices will maintain compatibility with players' existing Xbox game libraries.

"The next generation of Xbox is coming to life, and this is just the beginning," Bond said.
