| |  Player News: Infineon to supply Xbox 360 memory
Infineon will supply Microsoft with high-density memory for the upcoming Xbox 360, executives with the computer memory maker confirmed Monday.  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | During Infineon's analysts' day here, executives with the German-owned company said it will be supplying a removable solid-state dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM, unit, as well as two other key components: a single integrated chip to power a wireless gamepad controller and an advanced security chip.
Xbox 360 consoles are expected to hit shelves in November. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Infineon executives noted that the game console will sport enough broadband and wireless capabilities to allow consumers to use it as a gateway for home content.
"There are quite a lot of solid features in Xbox 360," Robert LeFort, president of Infineon North America, told reporters and analysts during the event.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 is expected to house a large amount of memory to deal with the massive amount of computing power from the IBM PowerPC processor, which has three symmetrical cores running at 3.2GHz each. The console is expected to have a 20GB hard drive, high-definition content game support and a 500MHz graphics processor by ATI.
