NVIDIA: We Let AMD Power the PS4

NVIDIA's Senior Vice President of content and tecnology told Gamespot in a recent interview that his company is essentially letting AMD win. While he's convinced his firm could be AMD if it tried, he says it just isn't worth it, remarking:

I'm sure there was a negotiation that went on and we came to the conclusion that we didn't want to do the business at the price those guys were willing to pay. Having been through the original Xbox and PS3, we understand the economics of the development and the trade-offs.

If we say, did a console, what other piece of our business would we put on hold to chase after that? In the end, you only have so many engineers and so much capability, and if you're going to go off and do chips for Sony or Microsoft, then that's probably a chip that you're not doing for some other portion of your business.

I believe the reason is simply that AMD has been better and cheaper in this arena

Nvidia probably offered at chip that raised the temp of the PS4 by 5c. lol Some Serious spin going on here.

Sandy, their GPUs do NOT run hot, back toward the 400 series, like the GTX480, chips did run hot, but every year saice then, temps have been steadly decreasing.

Yeah I know was just being silly. The 5xx series ran a little warm but they definitely nailed it down with the 6xx series. Low power and low thermals.
