Intel
reportedly
lost
Sony’s
PlayStation
6
chip
contract
to
Advanced
Micro
Devices
in
2022,
missing
out
on
a
potential
$30
billion
in
revenue.
This
is
according
to
Reuters,
with
sources
claiming
that
the
deal
fell
through
after
Intel
and
Sony
failed
to
settle
on
“how
much
Intel
stood
to
take
from
each
chip
sold.”
The
sources
alleged
that
internal
projections
from
Intel
suggested
that
Sony’s
console
business
“could
have
pumped
roughly
$30
million”
into
the
firm
had
the
contract
gone
through.
Reuters
also
noted
it
could
have
financially
boosted
Intel’s
foundry
segment,
which
formally
launched
earlier
this
year.
In
response
to
the
claims,
an
Intel
spokesperson
said:
“We
strongly
disagree
with
the
characterisation
but
are
not
going
to
comment
about
any
current
or
potential
customer
conversations.
We
have
a
very
healthy
customer
pipeline
across
both
our
product
and
foundry
business,
and
we
are
squarely
focused
on
innovating
to
meet
their
needs.”
AMD
has
had
a
design
contract
with
Sony
since
2014,
having
made
custom
chips
for
both
PlayStation
4
and
PlayStation
5.
