Rumor: Sony Licenses PowerVR Tech For PSP2

Note that a recent announcement Imagination made only mentioned that it signed a deal with a "major international consumer electronics company," without specifically naming Sony. So, we're carefully filing this under rumor for now, but it could very well turn out to be true, seeing as Imagination's PowerVR technology is also used in the iPhone.

Either way, don't expect to see the PSP2 anytime soon. We reckon it's still a couple years off at the least.

Has Imagination added Sony to Apple consumer design win? [EETimes]

Sony PSP 2 Graphics Processor Revealed?

A British company may have won the contract to design and build the next-generation graphics processor for the PSP2. Imagination Technologies Group announced in a press release this week that the company has signed a license agreement with a new partner, “a major consumer electronics company.” Industry sources say that the partner is almost certainly Sony, and that the SGX55x graphics chip will be used in the upcoming PSP2. The secrecy on the part of Imagination Technologies makes sense, because Sony is understandably unwilling to announce its plans for a PSP successor just yet. Imagination's PowerVR MBX chip is already being used in the Apple iPhone, so Sony finds itself in good company with this manufacturer.

The SGX55x chip promises to be much more powerful than what is currently found in the PSP. At the moment, the PSP uses a proprietary GPU designed by Sony that is very similar to the older graphics processor in the PS2.
