Om vi får tro AMD-bossen Devinder Kumar, vars företag ju gör processorer och grafikkort till både Playstation 4 och Xbox One (samt Wii U), är Microsoft och Sony i full gång med ersättarna och han säger även att han tror att de kan komma att släppas tidigare än folk nog tror, skriver BGR.
Kumar refererar till Microsoft och Sony som deras kunder och säger:
"The life cycle of the products are probably going to be shorter. Our customers are already thinking about what comes next. These are long life cycle products and as you know in the semi-custom space, you start with - three years before you introduce a product, a decision is made to use a particular company. In this case it was AMD. And then you go ahead and co-develop the product with the funding dollars frankly, mostly coming from our customers. And then when you introduce the product, there is really no expenses from R&D standpoint, no sales and marketing dollars and whatever dollars you generate from a gross margin dollar standpoint, falls to the bottom-line and that's what excites us."
