A tech website known as EETimes is claiming that Sony may have bought the licensing rights to a new graphics processor created by Imagination for use in a successor to the PlayStation Portable.
The report states that Imagination recently boasted it has licensed the firm’s "high-performance graphics processor core to a major international consumer electronics company", sparking rumors that Sony has acquired the rights to utilize the processor – dubbed the SGX55x – in the PSP2.
For those unware, Imagination has also made graphic processors for the highly successful iPhone, although its latest endeavour is likely to be decidedly more powerful than the one in Apple’s pocket-sized gadget wonder.
Of course, with no retail date, no confirmation and more than likely, no news on any of this planned to hit the mainstream media any time soon, we wouldn’t hold our breath.
