Sony denies rumors of Intel Larrabee for PlayStation 4 (ps4)

The Inquirer has released an exclusive report based on apparent conversations with unnamed Sony execs at CES. The report states that that Intel's forthcoming Larrabee is going to be the GPU to power Sony's PlayStation 4. Thus leaving Nvidia entirely out of the picture in all next generation consoles.

From the Inquirer:

"The nice Sony engineering lady at CES told us that Intel essentially bought the win, a theoretically good architecture, no imminent threats of going bust, and not being hated by Sony all contributed too. With a couple of deliverables satisfied, the PS4 GPU belongs to Intel." The report continued: "Yeah, Intel won the PS4 GPU, no shock considering how much they needed a console win to get people coding for Larrabee."

Sony have since denied this rumor. TechRadar reports that a Sony exec claimed that "it's nonsense, and is quite possibly the best work of fiction I've read, since Lord of the Rings."
