The PlayStation Vita will be using a 45 nanometer Samsung CPU, according to a Japanese news site.

The deal is likely to bring in a lot of money to Samsung if Sony’s next portable device is a large success.

The PS Vita is due to release in Japan this year, but North Americans and Europeans may have to wait till 2012 to get their hands on the system.

  1. I didn’t realise Samsung Make CPU’s. Incidentally, why don’t Sony make their own if Samsung can.

    • Samsung make all sorts of components, from RAM chips to SSD flash, to HDD platters, and naturally also CPUs.

      The reason Sony go to them is the same reason Apple use them. They’ve already got the infrastructure to manufacture CPUs, and have experience manufacturing ARM based chips.

    • Samsung is huge in the CPU business. Guess who made the CPU for the iPhone 4?

      • Batman?

      • Or his chirpy sidekick, Robin (see what I did there?!)

      • High fyve! Meat my wyfe – she is dead!

  2. Good news good news. :)

  3. The deal is likely to bring in a lot of money to Samsung if Sony’s next portable device is a large success………….;)

  4. Does anyone know what kind of chip it is?
    My preference would be arm, they make the best chips for mobile devices and they’re British.

  5. Yay! I’m such a slut for Samsung. They make the shiniest new toys! :D
