ATI has revealed that it has signed a deal with Nintendo that will see the firm develop and manufacture the graphics chip for the successor to the GameCube, ending months of speculation around the future plans of both companies.
Although specifics were not mentioned, the fact that ATI will be creating the graphical jiggerypokery to be found within the next Nintendo home console was confirmed, as well as the mention of “other technologies”. Work on the 3D innards of the next generation Game Boy, perhaps?
“ATI has had an excellent relationship with Nintendo for many years," said David Orton, President and Chief Operating Officer, ATI Technologies Inc. "We are pleased to enter into this major technology development agreement with Nintendo."
We look forward to bringing you the dodgy name ATI gives the new processor soon.
