Phantom Console: NVIDIA and Intel Inside?

July 3rd 2003 | General

Here’s one for the Intel / NV rumour mill. Anton Shilov clocked an NV logo over at the official website for the enigmatic Phantom - set to be the “fastest console on the market” at launch time in early 2004. Florida based Infinium Labs will be offering some pretty radical online features for Phantom users in an effort to gain an edge on Sony, Nintendo and MS. There’s a Console Wars / Phantom Menace gag here somewhere but it’s far too early for me to think of one, lol. More details and a very funky website over here, and here’s the snip from Anton:

It was a mystery for NVIDIA’s Andrew Humber when asked about the reason of NVIDIA Corporation’s logotype presence on a web-site of Infinium Labs, a small startup that develops a console called Phantom. Besides, I found “Intel Inside” logotype on the same web-site here.

NVIDIA representative said that the GPU designer has once met with Infinium Labs officials, but it seems too early for the latter to place NVIDIA’s logotypes on its web-site. I have no official statement from Intel at this point.
