ATI cards have been fueling consoles for quite a long time now, having most recently been included in both the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. And apparently Microsoft is happy, because it appears that ATI will be providing the GPU for the next generation as well. Fudzilla is reporting that Microsoft is happy with the Xenos GPU and want to continue using it, particularly because it will enable them to maintain compatibility with older games. Based on the delivery timeline, the site speculates that it will be a 28 nm part. Word is that the next generation was supposed to start next year. However, due to the recession, both Microsoft and Sony has reportedly pushed their plans back to 2012. That would make the Xbox 360 seven years old when its successor arrived, and the PS3 six years old.
Microsoft has kept quiet about its future plans, and Sony is still sticking to its ten year plans for the PS3. But if the new consoles are really due to arrive in 2012, then we'll likely be hearing more rumors like this starting next year.

I dont like ATI, im more of a nvidia person, but lately ATI has been rising good I heard.

Damn datz crazy let's jus wait and see.

Nvidia have been down and out for over a year or two now. They release new hardware which still isn't even as good as ATI's middle range cards. Take a look at the benchmarks from the 5890. The cards bench around double of the TOP RANGE Nvidia card.

ATI have and always will be on top now.

well, i'd say they will be starting on a new console by then but i highly doubt it would be released that soon.

im not 100% sure of this threads accuracy, but if microsoft wants to stick with what they are using now theyre gonna be even worse next generation than they were this generation. thats atleast what i got from this thread
