Intel To Design PlayStation 4 GPU

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on 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.

    I want Intel to get more experience designing GPUs that are competitive with nVidia and ATi. I want Intel to start offering PCIe graphics cards. Why?

    Because Intel is committed to releasing open-source drivers. I want to support any company that does this, and currently if I'm in the market for a graphics card, I don't have the option at the moment.
