WhiteWolf Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 When the last line of gaming consoles emerged, Sony and Microsoft took sides. Sony preferred the NVIDIA graphics solution with their IBM Cell processor, whereas Microsoft chose the AMD (then ATI) solution. Nintendo Wii too had ATI hardware inside. This time around, based on rumours and interactions by HardOCP, all three future gaming consoles are likely to use AMD hardware. Nintendo has already confirmed that the Wii U will use the Radeon RV770 GPU. The PlayStation 4 would use either a Cell processor or some kind of an AMD Bulldozer derivative. There’s also a good chance that all three consoles might use IBM cell processors. AMD’s GPUs in the past have shown good power-to-performance ratios. In the past, Microsoft tried working out something with NVIDIA for the Xbox 360, but things quickly went south. AMD has been gaining a good market share from NVIDIA. If these deals go through, they will boost AMD’s profit margins even further. Assuming that these next-generation consoles are expected by 2014, solid specifications should start appearing by the end of the year. http://tech2.in.com/news/console/rumour-all-nextgen-consoles-likely-to-use-amd-hardware/229802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstation Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Since when cell processor is allowed to be used by competitors?? ...as far I know...Sony-Toshiba-IBm all work together on this...but sony being the highest investor and if i am right they own the rights too...Toshiba and others can use the processor but only in their products not give it to competitors....this info is my own assumption ..... also i dont mind amd or nvidia....but i do think that Wii-u will again look backward once PS4 and Xbox 420 comes out .....this time though...xbox will be either more powerful than sony or they will be on par....that whats i think...

Karooo Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 CELL processor is just a standard Power PC based processor with SPE's attached to the die. Xbox 360 has the same stuff - SPE. Anyway, AMD is good; f**k Nvidia, they screwed Sony and MS both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
