Woo, a Power G5-type chip in the next Xbox. Sounds good to me.

I wonder where that leaves Nintendo's next generation chip, as they are currently using PPC technology. It'll be interesting to see how IBM negotiates with both considering they each have the goal of out-doing the other.

In two years it'll be plenty cheap.

ATI's doing the GPU for both. I don't see why it would be any different with CPUs.

It seems that SIS is making the media chips for the next XBOX.

Maybe they'll throw in a free Xbox 1.
