A rumor currently circulating suggests that Sony considered Intel’s now almost-canned Larabee graphics/CPU processor for the PS4, but ultimately opted out since it wasn’t powerful enough. It was rumored that Intel has been talking to Microsoft and Nintendo this year to put the new chip into their consoles, but the results of those talks are unknown.
However, Sony did comment on the rumor, where an unnamed Sony executive said “Larrabee can help us to plan PS5 and PS6, but it cannot make it into PS4.”
The PS4 is expected to be released around 2012-2013.
