Intel to design playstation 4 GPU?

Quote from article
"The nice Sony engineering lady at CES told us that Intel essentially bought the win, a theoretically good architecture, no imminent threats of going bust, and not being hated by Sony all contributed too. With a couple of deliverables satisfied, the PS4 GPU belongs to Intel. No word if this is going to be the entire architecture, CPU as well, or not. That, from what we are told, is not final yet."

yeah i agree they are a very shoddy source, but i did this for teh lolz.

Boty5390d ago

really? REALLY? really?

Well anyways.... lol

Some how I doubt that Sony would go with a Cell/Larrabee combo. Since the CPU is almost guaranteed to be a CELL derivative.

BBCnewsrocks5390d ago

CELL/Larabee doesn't seem to far-fetched IMO. Since they put a ton of resources behind CELL and have slowly been getting the 3rd party dev support back, I doubt they'd ditch that. And if this "sony engineering lady" is to be believed, then Larabee is pretty much confirmed right?

JRaptor5390d ago

This seems unlikely - the Larrabee is not proven and is fairly similar in architecture to the Cell. It would kind of neutralise the benefit of having a dedicated graphics chip since the cell can take on a lot of the graphics anyway.

Not Really...
When You Think About It

Like Peanut Butter and Jelly
They Are Made To Compliment
Eachother...

MAN, sh*t!! Didn't any of ya'll SEE THE DATE of the article posted? It's FEB, 09 for christ sake. STOP PUTTING UP THESE OUT DATED ASS articles. So just to get hits/trafic and crap! Sony aready said it's not gonna happen.

DAMN, BRO!!!

FarEastOrient5389d ago

Some where on this page it should say this is an editorial piece since there is so much opinion used to describe some information on the GPU wins of the coming consoles.

dantesparda5389d ago (Edited 5389d ago )

Oh dear lord! (and i aint even religious) say it isnt so! Sony just lost the next gneration right there with that bit of news. Intel has NEVER! and i repeat NEVER made a decent piece of graphical harware. I guess this race to the lowest bidders isnt really useful to us gamers. Oh well, maybe PS5 Sony, good luck. Unfortunately, i dont really think i'll care by then, sh!t i barely even care anymore now.

Peace Fannies

You think Sony would go with an untested chip. Intel hav'nt even got any bench marks out.

Pandamobile5390d ago

Okay, who the hell approved this?

It's from February and it's already been confirmed that Intel is not designing the PS4 GPU.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7210h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii12h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast9h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM6h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

Tacoboto2d ago

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing691d 21h ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 13h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21831d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto1d 5h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
