 unfortunately I just have theories, but no clue what will happen here.

What I do know is that it has been made public Intel is heavily courting MS on using their next generation of chip for the next Xbox.

 

 

Oh.  With "chip", do they mean an Intel CPU or Intel's GPU project?

They are offering both cpu and gpu and maybe the whole chipset as well.  And why not, intel can do all that.  Rumor has it that Intel is trying to cut a deal so tempting it will be very difficult for MS to pass up.  Keep in mind that this is just rumor, but in my opinion a likely true rumor.  

If IBM can come up with something near Intel's level of performance, I prefer MS to stick with IBM for backward compatibility sake.
