Maybe Nvidia doesn't see enough value in that, but for AMD it's different.

For AMD it's not only the GPU, it's also the CPU and the fabrication of the chips (given that they can't license the CPU design to Sony/MSoft, they have to take care of that too), so their profits margin are much higher than what Nvidia could get with only the GPU.

... Nvidia could of provided all that too if they wanted.

That's what they're mobile buisness is.  The one they didn't want to distract from.

 

Their margins won't be higher then what Nvdia refused to take.  AMD is just desperate because well... they've been taking sort of a beating to the point where Nvdia is has just been holding back to artificially keep prices up.

Sorry but no, Nvidia can't provide them with an x86 CPU.

They could offer an ARM one with their Tegra solutions, but that could prove problematic as devs have been asking for ages for a more PC-like environment.

And that's a risk neither Sony nor MSoft can afford.
