ATI already won next gen Xbox deal

Game over

We've learned from industry sources that AMD / ATI has already won the GPU deal for the next generation XboX console. It looks like Microsoft was happy with first Xeons GPU and it wants to continue using the same, especially since the new ATI GPU should keep the compatibility with legacy games.

The consoles refresh was supposed to happen in 2010 but due to the recession both Microsoft and Sony have decided to push its plans for 2012 and keep the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 alive for more than it was originally planned.

We don’t know how the GPU looks like but judging from the timeline when it is supposed to be delivered we suspect that it might be a 28nm part.

What I find incorrect is 2010 statement, 2012 has always been the target for technology to swift.

Probably isn't real, and chances are there will be something more advanced by both the time the consoles are released.

Let's wait for the consoles to actually be announced first. And this guy has no proof behind his article.

ATI > NVidia any day.

NVidias record in consoles is terrible btw.

They worked on the Sega Saturn and ruined it with their "quad" programming idea.

They did the Xbox GPU and const the company bilions in not lowering prices and eventually discontinuing the chip abruptly which cause xbox to stop selling Xbox 1.

And they delivered the PS3 GPU which is weaker than 360 despite console coming out a year later.

They did some decent pc cards tho...

The only thing even remotely plausible about this is the fact that MS will likely use ATI again next generation. I suspect Sony will stick with Nvidia unless they screwed Sony like they did MS.

ATI is the graphics king right now as far as performance/value go so it makes sense to use them again.
