The claim
AMD's next big Ryzen AI Max APU is called Siren Halo, replacing the design previously known as Medusa Halo, and supports dedicated GDDR7 VRAM alongside LPDDR memory, possibly sharing RDNA 5 'AT2' graphics with the next Xbox's Magnus chip.
Why we rated it Rumor
From hardware leaker Gotou_3rd on X, relayed by VideoCardz, which adds its own unnamed sources for the Xbox Magnus link; Gotou says that link is 'very likely' but unconfirmed. It fits Kepler_L2's Oct 30 claim that Medusa Halo was renamed. A GDDR7 pool would be a big change from today's LPDDR-only Halo chips. AMD has said nothing.
