(Im not the most hardware savvy so please keep in mind d that this comment is said more conceptually than factually)
With the comments from Sarah Bond about forwards compatibility and the idea of a handheld, I wonder if MS is planning to pull an Apple and go with arm cpu (or that type of chip concept) as they are much more power efficient and (from my understanding) overall better. They already have a version of Windows that runs on arm and they definitely want to get more into mobile and want their own App Store. I would imagine that an arm based console + handheld + windows ecosystem would be their idea vision, especially if arm based games are much easier to port to their theoretical mobile store giving players cross play over their pc, console and phone. Love to hear from people who actually understand what I’m trying to say here. If this would happen, the transition could be tough for a few years for pc gamers but having their own comparability layer like proton could help.
