IBM on Tuesday said it is cranking out a new microprocessor for Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming console, due later this fall. The company said the custom-designed microprocessor is in production at the company's East Fishkill, N.Y., fab and at Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing in Singapore.
The specialized chip was designed and developed by IBM and Microsoft. The companies announced the initial agreement to build the new chip two years ago. IBM said the chip is being delivered to Microsoft less than 24 months since the original contract signing, in the fall of 2003--in time to meet Microsoft's worldwide product launch for this holiday season.
