AMD Is Likely Making The Processor For Nintendo NX – Announces Third Semi-Custom Design Win
The two major players, Sony and Microsoft, chose to abandon IBM’s PowerPC architecture in favor of AMD’s x86-64bit in the last round of systems. However both wins were actually more heavily influenced by AMD’s strong graphics performance and the way the company can integrate both the CPU and GPU engines on a single chip. Something that IBM cannot do and AMD has far more experience in than its major rivals Intel and NVIDIA.
In its most recent earnings call AMD announced a brand new semi-custom design beyond the two semi-custom chips that the company had announced last year. This means that the company is working on three semi-custom chips. One of the two that were announced last year is x86-64bit based and the other is ARM 64-bit based. AMD confirmed that the latest design win announced in the Q2 earnings call is also x86 based making this the company’s fourth design to incorporate the x86-64bit CPU architecture. The previous two being the XBOX ONE and the PS4 and the third being the one announced last year.
AMD’s Devinder Kumar had actually confirmed last year that of the two x86 and ARM semi-custom chips announced last year, one would take the company beyond gaming. In other words, one was going to be a gaming chip. It was widely speculated that the ARM semi-custom chip would end up as the processor that would power Nintendo’s new handheld device, while the x86 chip announced alongside it would be a tailor-made server chip. Today, VentureBeat reports that the third and latest semi-custom chip would actually power Nintendo’s upcoming living room device, the Nintendo NX game console.
