There's still some doubt about the future architecture of the Xbox console, but if ATI's involved, as it is, an IBM processor in there is unlikely. Nvidia's CFO reminded us a few days ago in a conference call that the current Xbox actually uses three key bits of semi technology – the CPU, a graphics chip and a chipset.

ATI therefore stands to gain in a couple of ways from its recent agreement with Microsoft. Whoever makes the graphic chip for Microsoft, is likely to have a chunk of the mobo and chipset real estate too.
