He would be saying the exact opposite if Nvidia was making the chips for the next Playstation and Xbox.

It could be true, but as my American brethren often say, Nvidia is just 'butt hurt'. :D

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Mobile products aren't necessarily low/mid end. The PS4 has a desktop GPU in its APU anyway.

No it isn't. Its the mobile variant with other modifications.

There is NOTHING "mobile" in the PS4.

A quad core jaguar has a TDP of 25W at 1.6GHz. The PS4 has a (rumoured) 2GHz eight core custom CPU so you are looking at 50W TDP for the CPU part. The GPU part is an improved 7850-like GPU. This is one hell of a chip likely in the 100W TDP range.

AMD is heavily invested in providing the chipset for both next gen consoles.

Who's nVidia's main competitor? AMD.

Negative press is only natural.

Superchunk is right about gpu most likely being mobile. its a lot closer to 7970m than 7850 according to specs released so far. its probably based on 8970m or some next gen monile gpu.

Jaguar is AMDs successor to Bobcat. These are AMDs low-power low-cost market... the "mobile" products. Stuff they intend for laptops, netbooks, and so forth.

Just because Sony is fusing two of these quad-core mobile processors together, doesn't mean its not a mobile based CPU.

The entire APU (CPU plus GPU) will have a TDP below 100W. That's kinda the point of going with an APU to begin with.

I remember when "high end PC" meant like a $2500-$3000 rig, lol.

A $1000 PC was like what your bought your grandparents so they could surf the net.
