A rumour linking graphics chipset manufacturer NVIDIA with the PlayStation 3 has been described as "ridiculous" by a senior source, who claims that the company will design its own GPU for the console.

"Lashing NVIDIA's technology onto the PS3 architecture would simply make no sense either technologically or commercially."
