What's going on with Nintendo's Wii system? Well, it is selling a lot of units. Meaning more have to be made. AMD has announced that they have shipped the 50 millionth ATI graphics processor (codenamed "Hollywood") for future Wii consoles. This milestone makes the ATI graphics processor the biggest selling AMD game console chip ever.
“We congratulate Nintendo on this major milestone for its popular Wii console. AMD shares Nintendo’s excitement for delivering engaging experiences for every member of the family,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "We’re proud to provide the ATI ‘Hollywood’ chip as the cool and quiet graphics engine that factors so prominently in the overall enjoyment for Wii owners. AMD counts Nintendo as a valued customer and we continue to work together to make console entertainment a growing phenomenon worldwide.”
AMD has had a 10-year history with Nintendo starting with the Nintendo GameCube, Wii and possibly future Nintendo game consoles to come.
