IMO just ignore that FUDboy, here's a press release from 2004: "The companies have been jointly developing a custom graphics processing unit (GPU) incorporating next-generation GeForce technology - the graphics hardware behind NVIDIA's PC products - for the past two years, which will be used alongside SCEI's own system solutions for next-generation platforms featuring the Cell processor." http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/nvidia-partners-with-sony-on-playstation-3-graphics-hardware |
Nice try Mike. More of your deceipt tactics, I see. And now you are flaming people. I seriously don't see how you don't get banned after all the times I have reported you for flaming/trolling. They were developing GPU's for their other Cell based products. The fact they even mention the PS3 anywhere in the article was just speculation. The actual GPU designed JUST for the PS3 was a last minute hack job to help out the Cell so they wouldn't be destroyed by MS in the graphics department.
"For the PS3 Sony wanted to have a technology advantage so they developed, in conjunction with Toshiba and IBM, the Cell processor. A clean sheet design with many innovations this took $400 million and four years to develop. The intention was to use two of these in the PS3, one as CPU and one as GPU. However at the last minute Sony realised that the Cell GPU wasn’t up to the job so they went to nVidia and bought their 7800GTX GPU."
