Go AMD! XBOX 720 Could Also Use AMD Chip and GPU!

I’ve been a longtime supporter of AMD and it looks like Microsoft’s new console is most likely going to use an AMD CPU and GPU as well

XBox With AMD: Good for Consumers, Developers, Microsoft – A Win-Win-Win

As reported, Sony’s PS4 is using a custom AMD chip and GPU and we believe this will make the PS4 very affordable

Luckily, Microsoft may also be using an AMD chip to lower costs. Good for consumers and Microsoft alike.

Developers would also be happy to hear this, because it would probably simplify the development if both major game consoles use similar hardware

AMD’s marketing department announced that they have more changes in store for the gaming community. AMD’s next-generation APU’s (accelerated processing unit) are coming out this year and we’ll be able to benchmark it before the PS4 will be released this holiday season. All in all, I think it will be a win-win for all
