ATI GPU to be used for next Xbox

[Sniper1432]

According to Fudzilla, an ATI GPU will once again be the choice for Microsoft's next gen Xbox. Check it out:

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.

Urghgh, I wouldn't ever quote Fudzilla, it's awful.

Hell, they can't even get the name of the GPU right. ATI made the Xenos for the Xbox. The Xeon is an Intel server CPU...

If you look at it, they have it spelled 'Xeons', which leads me to believe they meant to say Xenos, but mistyped it. I suspect they knew better than to call it Xeon, and simply switched the o and the n on accident.

It's Fudzilla. They are renowned for making up stories. It's like reading a really bad paper.

I'm not saying this is false, just take it with a bucket of salt.
