Intel lost a crucial contract to design the PlayStation 6 chip, which significantly impacted its efforts to grow its fledgling contract manufacturing business.
Winning the Sony PlayStation 6 chip design business would have been a victory for Intel's design segment and doubled as a win for the company's contract manufacturing effort.
Typically, Sony consoles sell more than 100 million units across a half decade. For a chip designer, the console business delivers steady business that can profit from technology a company has already developed.
A dispute over how much profit Intel stood to take from each chip may have contributed to the loss of a crucial contract that could have revitalized its manufacturing business.
