We will see if NextBox also uses this, then it's definitely invented by AMD and not Sony. The only difference remaining is GDDR5. |

AMD to sell a cut down version of Sony's Playstation 4 APU
CHIP DESIGNER AMD will offer a cut down version of the APU chip that will be in Sony's Playstation 4 later this year.
...
However John Taylor, head of marketing for AMD's Global Business Units, said that a version of the same chip without Sony's technology will be available for consumers later this year.
Taylor told The INQUIRER that the AMD branded APU chip will not have the same number of cores or the same computing capability as Sony's part.
...
Taylor said that this is all part of AMD's "flexible system on chip strategy", but what the upcoming A-series parts will show is just how much work Sony put into the chip that is found in the Playstation 4.
Sounds like Sony had quite a hand in the PS4's APU.
