Xenos is Ati's name. No one at Ati calls it C1.nelg said:Would it be too much to infer that since Xenos is the MS name for the C1 that perhaps there is more to read into that comment from Richard?

C1 is the development name, "Xenos" is the name tacked on at the end.3dcgi said:Xenos is Ati's name. No one at Ati calls it C1.
No. C1 was the code name before there was a contract. Xenos is the development name.Dave Baumann said:C1 is the development name, "Xenos" is the name tacked on at the end.
Nope. No company in their right mind would give away a design like that and not still be able to use it themselves.blakjedi said:I thought xenos' design was wholly owned by MS....

Megadrive1988 said:Assuming Nintendo will give the 3D chip contract for the next-generation Game Boy to ATI, would you not imagine that it is of great strategic importance to ATI given the likely volume of units involved ? with the potental to sell tens of millions of new Game Boys from launch date through the end of the decade -- and probably sell more than both Xbox360 and Revolution put together, one would think this is a priority for Orton and his company. I was somewhat surprised that DS did not have an ATI chip in it, but I almost cannot imagine the next Game Boy without one.
SiBoy said:Graphics in the current generation has been a non-event, with many companies taking out token licenses of whatever happens to be available (many of which will never be enabled). Once graphics in mobiles is taken more seriously, the choice of which vendor's graphics to use will be taken more seriously.
Dave Baumann said:Some time ago AJ from Futuremark joined ATI, his job is to evangelise to handheld developers the use of shaders - this it kind of an odd job at the moment seeing as ATI have no shader enabled handheld parts yet.
Dave Baumann said:Hey AJ, Happy Christmas.
I did listen to the CC, but we're not interested in what has happened, such as how many you've sold, but more interested in whats coming up! I note from the CC the next part would appear to have embedded RAM and DVB-H capabilities - given the comments from Richard this appears to sound more like a mini Xenos on the 3D side. Any other details you can fill us in on?
I would prefer PowerVR...linthat22 said:Couldn't Nintendo go with Bitboys?
