Nintendo Revolution is hardly the most talked about console of the coming generation. Xbox 360, which will appear officially for the first time tonight on MTV, and PlayStation 3 have been getting the most attention, but now some information on Nintendo’s new console, also known as Revolution, has surfaced. These are actually leaked specifications that are as unofficial as as they are impressive. We should add that this information has been circulating the web but has reached us just now.
Nintendo has never been the equivalent to raw performance when it comes to consoles, Gamecube and Nintendo DS are excellent examples of this, and even if these are in no way worse consoles than the rest, Revolution might change the way we look at Nintendo’s consoles. The Chinese site Unika.com.cn has namely published information on Nintendo Revolution and its specifications. This is as we mentioned earlier not official information and should be taken with a truck load of salt, but we feel we have to further this information as the specifications are very impressive.
The processor is manufactured by IBM. the G5-model with four cores working at 2.5GHz with (128KB L1-cache each and a shared 512KB L2-cache). Except that there will be separate processors for sound and physical effects (PPU). The graphic is not to shabby either. A specially designed ATI-chip, RN520, with dual circuits linked with ATI’s own SLI-technology. As memory it will use 16MB of eDRAM. The console itself will use 512MB shared between the processor and the graphic. The console will with this support HDTV resolutions up to 720p and 1080i.
These are some “Revolutionizing” specifications and we have to admit its hard to take these completely seriously as they seem to good to be true.
