Intel To Design PlayStation 4 GPU

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday February 6, 2009 @08:42AM from the wtb-cash-cow dept.

madhatter256 writes "According to the Inquirer it looks like Intel will be designing Sony's next gen console GPU. It will most likely be an off-shoot of the Larrabee GPU architecture. It is also unknown as of yet if Intel will also take part in the CPU design of the console. Due to current economic times it was a no brainer for Sony to go with Intel. " The article also mentions rumors of ATI getting the Xbox3 GPU and, if history is any judge, the Wii2 as well.

  After the Wii2 comes the Wii3... which comes in a special "R" edition with a digital video recorder, and also comes packaged with the ever popular game, Kings of Orient, making it the Wii3/Kings of Orient/R.

  Xbox 3 Basic
  Xbox 3 Home
  Xbox 3 Media Center
  Xbox 3 Premium
  Xbox 3 Business
  Xbox 3 Ultimate
  Xbox 3 Ultimate - Halo Edition
  Xbox 3 Ultimate XTreme Turbo Black
  The will all do exactly the same thing.

  And the Xbox3
  They meant the XBOX 129600. The correct formula for Xbox naming is XBOX 360^(N-1) where N is the generation number.

  No, it'll be the "Wii Wood," released with a lacquered birdseye maple finish. The third generation is the "Wii Wood Lake," which has a redwood finish with a lake landscape on top, and comes bundled with Wii Wood Lake Trout Fishing. It also would get an upgrade called the "Wii Wood Lake 2," which would also have a special edition with 8 times the internal flash (more VC games) called "Wii Wood Lake 2: Play."

  Is that like the MacBook Pro Black edition, now only $200 for the privilege of us changing the pigment color in the injection mould!
  No, that's only $200 for the priviledge of you owning a computer that has the same color as The Lord's Own Turtlenecks. In addition, highly scientific studies have shown that having a black Mac, instead of a regular color Mac, will result in you attracting 150% more chicks when you sit sipping $15 soymilkchocolatelattefrappuchinomochaorangemintlattes while writing the great next american novel at your local coffeshop.

Yes. The article you cited is from 2004. Good morning, Rip van Winkle! There have been a lot of changes. :-)
