Sony is working on an as-yet-unannounced new gaming console, former AMD employees say, and the processor designer may play a key role in the new product.
AMD’s graphics technology is already used in Microsoft’s XBox 360 console. However, Sony’s PlayStation 3 — introduced in 2006 — relies on graphics technology fromNvidia.

AMD declined to comment on the project. Sony Chief Transformation Officer George Bailey also declined to discuss Sony’s new console, or even acknowledge its existence.
However, at AMD’s analyst day last month, AMD Chief Financial Officer Thomas Seifert identified gaming as one of several trends that will drive revenue growth at AMD in 2012.

rumors are all good and things however, without any hardcore evidence its not worth spreading. However, once news does start to come out I am sure no matter which manufacturer is chosen people will start to boycott it.

If true, good news. AMD > Nvidia.

Except AMD can't write a decent LINUX driver to save their lives.

Just hope the driver support is solid like on the PC. /s

True. But we don't have to worry about that on the consoles

You mean the company that produces GPU's for Laptops, Desktops and current generation Game Consoles (Wii, Wii U, XBOX 360) thinks that gaming may play a role in their revenue growth? No S***.
