Xbox 720-based AMD Fusion II. What today can be branded as an indiscretion imaginative KitGuru comes from. "The name and the final design could still be questioned, but the ' hardware seems to have been decided, "the site.
AMD - ATI or better - is the company that made the Xenos graphics chip 's Xbox 360 . This solution is a hybrid of the core of the Radeon X1800/X1900 R520/R580 and R600, the company's first DirectX 10 GPU (HD 2900 XT). With the latest Xbox 360 S we have witnessed the passage from two different chip, GPU and CPU IBM AMD, single solution that integrates the processor and graphics (Vejle processor for the Xbox 360 S a revolution! ).
In few words the same design used by AMD Fusion, or Intel's Sandy Bridge . The first element that argues in favor of AMD is that Microsoft has already established relationships with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, the foundry, which has acquired the manufacturing branch of AMD. GLOBALFOUNDRIES has in fact acquired Chartered Semiconductor, the foundry in which the Redmond has the contract for the production of the chip.

The second is that between Intel and AMD would make more sense to focus on depending on whether you have a powerful graphics core: AMD ATI through a decade of experience in this field, both in the design of technologies in the development of the software needed to make good use of power. Intel can not boast, for the time being, nothing like that.
"Based on the comments of people like Chekib Akrout (Senior Vice President of Technology Group at AMD, Ed), of all the likely design aimed at the Xbox 720 we think that there is a good chance it will be based on AMD Krishna . The APU will be built at 28 nm from GLOBALFOUNDRIES. [...] The only real challenge of the first Xbox 360 related to the heat and noise problems for which AMD Krishna could be the answer. In those slowly moving things in the world of consoles, we expect the new Xbox 720 (assuming that there will be no major problems with GLOBALFOUNDRIES) in 2012.
KitGuru's speech could be consistent, but it is clear that now everything makes sense, if presented with the right words. The only sure thing is that IBM is the only one that, somehow, figure in all three home console. L 'company has already said he wants to stay in business (IBM Cell in full development, will be the heart of the PS4 ) and are not problems with Microsoft. Clearly turn to one partner that can provide a unique solution, it could simplify and shorten the development time. We are sure that Krishna will be powerful enough? Is not it better to bet on the Trinity project?
KitGuru Too many questions that do not respond, but we will continue to follow all the rumors, sooner or later will come out the right one, right?
