The optimist in me is saying a Series X revision is about to be announced, and that would explain the horrific Series X stock recently as they've already moved to manufacturing the new one. But I think I'm reaching.

Sony did something like that.
The move to a 6nm chip means the logic transistor density increased by 18.8% and the die size shrunk from 300 square millimeters to just 270 (roughly 15% smaller). The other benefit of the smaller chip for Sony is the fact 20% more of them can be produced per wafer, with little difference in production cost.

Likely Xbox is working on a similar solution.

Wouldn't change the outside look though so I'm not sure if that is the ?
