AMD has revealed the existence of new "design wins" for its Semi-Custom processor design business, suggesting that three new console designs will roll out to the market throughout this year and beyond. Gamesindustry.biz reports that this is expected to generate $1.5bn of revenue for the company over three to four years, but the question is, how will those processor designs translate into acutal console products?
AMD CEO Lisa Su was coy on details in an investor call, but did reveal that "not all" of these products would ship this year, and she would not be drawn on the specifics of the new design wins: "I don't believe that we've gone through any detail about what those wins are, so I would prefer to let that come out as our customers are ready to launch."
At least one of the three designs has now been exposed - it's the new SoC (system on chip) processor at the heart of the new PlayStation, codenamed Neo. It's an evolution of the existing PS4 processor, with an overclocked version of the existing Jaguar-based x86 CPU cluster, along with a 2.3x more capable graphics component.
As for the other two designs - you can take your pick from the upcoming Nintendo NX and perhaps Microsoft's upcoming mid-generation Xbox refresh. Alternatively it may well be the case that the console and handheld versions of the NX concept may well account for two of AMD semi-custom designs, with Nintendo's home console more likely to launch this year with the mobile device coming later in 2017.
