IBM To Design Technology For XBox 2 CPU

Posted by simoniker on from the the-audience-is-watching dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Biz Ink, 'Microsoft has licensed leading-edge semiconductor processor technology from IBM for use in future Xbox products and services to be announced at a later date..' IBM are already working on the PlayStation 3 CPU alongside Toshiba, and have a relationship with Nintendo after making the GameCube CPU, though there's been no official announcement on GameCube 2's hardware. Is the next-gen hardware war heating up?"

    It is /. after all.

    I thought we were here to discuss a game related article.

    HAH! Big Blue in the console biz? I know, they'll name it OS/3 and it'll be better than all the other consoles, but it'll run like shit on current hardware and it'll have maybe 5 games.

    IBM selling game consoles would be like Apple selling OSX for the x86. There's just too much competition right now for such a huge gamble.

    What the fsck is your problem. First of all have balls and sign your posts. Second, what I do with my money is none of your buisness allright? Games are 50 bucks. Buying a GC costs the same thing as two games. Since I buy games every other months, because I can't really afford more, that would be 4 months before even owning a GC game. Yeah, that would be sooooo fun. I can't believe there are sooo many people like you polluting Slashdot. Please do us a favor and just stop posting. I hope you come back to read this post. Worst part is, if you do reply, I won't know if you're the same asshole as before.
