NVidia and Xbox2?

33
From the "crazy rumors" department comes news from The Inquirer, where they are reporting about Microsoft's plans for the Xbox 2 (already?). Supposedly NVidia won't be part of it. Instead ATI and VIA will be trying to score the contract for the graphics chip. VIA is supposedly also in the race to provide the chipset and CPU. Uh huh. Thanks Chris.

Y'know what the problem is? Nvidia charges Microsoft just a little bit too much for its technology and Microsoft wants to lose just that little bit less on each X-Box it sells. More. While Via reckons it could scoop the opposition and get the graphics chipset and the CPU business, it has one major competitor in the final running and that happens to be little Canadian company ATI.
