I am of two minds about Intel. Lately they have been producing some fairly interesting products. But at the same time they have a virtual stranglehold on the x86 ISA.

Really? PS4 and Xbone are AMD, and selling like truckloads.

Yes, it is an odd development. But then what is now AMD's GPU division, ATI, used to be THE supplier of console gaming GPUs.

Sure, there are issues with the ARM world. But i kinda prefer the vibrant market there over the 2 1/2 horse race that is x86.

Many ARM CPUs are licensed transistor layouts from ARM. There's only a handful of companies actually designing their cores. Most of the diversity comes from the other bits of silicon in the SoC, but there's plenty of diversity in the x86 motherboard space too.

For Xbox 360 and WiiU, the PS3 had an nVidia GPU

Yeah, and maybe i was a bit nice. Could just as well have put them down as 1/4 i guess.

Vishera is a beast. Love it. And I fell in love with this intel gadget which I wasn't expecting.
