Speculation: Nvidia looking for eDRAM engineers; PSP2 on the horizon?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the job posting says absolutely nothing about game consoles. Nvidia has dabbled in gaming chips for mobile phones in the past, so I don't see why this couldn't just as easily be for such an implementation. Hell, it could even be for PMPs of some sort. Sony makes mobile phones, Sony makes PMPs, and Sony makes all kinds of other similar devices.

The job description even says it involves "Transistor level circuit design for Graphics processors and other ASICs targeted at desktop, laptop, workstation, set-top box, wireless and home networking markets." No mention of gaming there.

I don't know why people automatically assume that every development from a company involved in the PSP's supply chain means there's a PSP2 on the horizon.

Samsung announces some new RAM? Must be for the PSP2!
Nvidia announces some new graphics processor? Must be for the PSP2!
Sony announces a new Memory Stick format? Must be for the PSP2!!!!1
Sharp announces a new LCD screen? Must be for the PSP2!!!!111one

Honestly, it's getting old. Believe it or not, those other companies do actually produce other components for other products.

There's a difference between speculation and just making random guesses because you want "credit" on the internet.

I think you meant "ATI" not AMD :). Just browsing through the Sony blogs hehe. I'm going to get one soon but waiting for some games, till then I'll play the Wii. Bye.

I agree I think this is a premature assumption, wishful thinking....

It's entirely possible you're way off base... but I really hope this is for the 'PlayStation Walkman' that PSPFanboy themselves predicted would arrive this year. I'm actually holding off buying a Wii (charlatan!) in case they release the 'PSW'.

I sure hope not. I just got my PSP after waiting for the games to catch up with the system. I don't want to have to splunk down more moola. But I would welcome someway to hook it up to the tv and play my games on my big screen. Even my son's LeapFrog Max allows for that.

I hope against this assumption. The current PSP, in my opinion, has yet to reach its own maximum potential, and it would royally suck if they already move onto a next-gen unit.

My bet is that there will be a new PSP: the PSp (PlayStation Phone). Sony is going to battle Apple.

Wow people , stop the flaming , this are only rumors , not that anyone sayed here that it will happen . And yes , the graphics chip for the X is made bi ATI not AMD :P

ATI is AMD you morons, everyone refers them to AMD graphics now.

Sony, Nvidia and AMD RULEZ!!!

You know what I would love to see if that AMD would make there own little console for next next generation like in 2011 maybe or sooner or later, go AMD, you Sony & Nvidia
