what about the xeon phi, couldn't that make an awesome graphics + compute system for consoles?
There's a reason it seems so much like a graphics card- read up about Larrabee some time.
There were random rumours that Intel actually was shopping Larrabee for the next-gen consoles several years back, but between the tech not being ready and the global economic downturn the whole thing got canned. Totally unsubstantiated rumours, of course. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1048101/intel-console-deal-larrabee-ground
