There’s nothing official yet, but word has it that Sony has enlisted the help of Imagination Technologies Group, a graphics processor core company, to work on another refresh for the PlayStation Portable.

This rumor comes after Imagination’s announcement earlier this week that they’ve signed a license agreement with an unnamed major consumer electronics company. EETimes.com reports that some sources have pegged the unnamed company as Sony.

If Imagination and Sony really are working together, the former’s contribution is expected to come in the form of their new SGX55x graphics core. Now I’m not really familiar with these cores, but a PSP with even better graphics definitely sounds good. Throw in an extra analog nub, Sony, and you’ve already got one customer right here.
