NVIDIA Corporation today reported that two key processors for the Xbox video game console, the Xbox Graphics Processing Unit and Xbox Media Communications Processor, have both been released for fabrication. The two processors are manufactured in TSMC's advanced 0.15um, 7 layer metal process. The XGPU is a fully programmable 3D processor that contains more than 60 million transistors. The MCPX is based on two powerful DSPs with 4 billion operations per second dedicated to 3D audio and network processing. It also performs the processing for broadband networking functions and high-speed peripherals. The MCPX will enable Xbox to process 64 channels of positional 3D audio.
