All three new gaming console will use AMD development : console, Sony and Microsoft - custom integrated APU company and console Nintendo - graphics core AMD Radeon (processor - based on three core IBM Power).
Back in March, GameStop, has mentioned that at the start of sales of Sony PlayStation 4 may be in short supply. This is due to AMD limited ability to provide custom chip .
According to AMD company, it has a strong industrial base. To Produce custom APU for Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 may be GlobalFoundries, and TSMC. This, incidentally, may explain the fact that Microsoft is not yet ready to show a working device. From what is known, crystals eDRAM for Xbox 360 is released by Taiwanese TSMC. Perhaps APU for Microsoft console will be made in Taiwan.
The license for the production of x86-compatible processor cores is only at Intel, AMD and VIA, and good integrated graphics are only at AMD. . On the other hand, the crisis did not have a bounty, and not as willing to spend extra money on the salaries of game developers. So all this talk about the uniqueness of AMD offer.
