Microsoft using ATI for next-gen Xbox?
October 14th, 2009 Posted in Business, Hardware, Industry, Technology, Xbox 360
Tech site Fudzilla is claiming it’s got information that Microsoft has already given the deal to build the graphics chip for the upcoming Xbox console to ATI. ATI, which already makes the “Xenos” GPU used in the current Xbox 360, apparently has Microsoft satisfied with the current GPU and wants to do more business with ATI, which we can certainly understand — the GPU in the Xbox 360 has pretty much been the only stable part of the console over the years. The rumors also suggest that the new Xbox will launch i 2012.
However, Fudzilla, as usual, never cites any sources so this is pure speculation, at best, and the site isn’t known for having the best track record out there when it comes to rumors.
