Update (8AM): It turns out that AMD used a fan-made render of the Xbox Series X during their presentation. In a statement to The Verge, AMD admitted that “the Xbox Series X imagery used during the AMD CES press conference was not sourced from Microsoft and does not accurately represent the design or features of the upcoming console.”
The AMD representative went on to say that the model was sourced from TurboSquid.com, a 3D model marketplace, and indeed one model there matches what was shown on-screen exactly. It’s a baffling move given that AMD is partnering with Microsoft on the device.
