Nintendo Intel jointly create a new console?

February 17th, 2010 by admin

Wii sales dropped again, and it seems that a successor must be getting ready, something that will ensure Nintendo’s new cash advance. The best way to draw attention to themselves, sales of high return is to present a completely new console. Apparently Nintendo, together with Intel leading the serious discussions on the components of the new ‘Zia’. Speculation is that what did not work out for Intel to personal computers, namely the long-awaited and recently alleged the project’s Larrabee graphics chip, will the form of a unit of the GPU / CPU for Nintendo’s new toy. We are talking about speculation and not confirmed the news, but note that Chipzilla has invested considerable money in developing Larrabee and may seek to recover part of the funds invested in the project.

Nintendo’s choice for such a partner means the one hand, a break with the practice of ordering graphics chips from manufacturers specializing in this type of product, which is a certain risk. On the other hand, one system (or platform developed by one manufacturer) is able to build low-cost hardware, something that is the strength of the Wii – a console, which has earned for itself (hardware) since the appearance of the first copies on store shelves.
