The new Nintendo Revolution Specs

Launch Date: Summer 2006

Megagames got an insider of the latest Nintendo Revolution prototype and it's 700 MHz slower than Xbox 360. MoSys, the Gamecube memory manufacture is adding memory to Revolution.

Another slot in drive. Gosh. We’re getting high tech now. Serious business.

The real next generation Nintendo console? Internet says it is.

In its final form, Revolution will be about the thickness of three standard DVD cases and only slightly longer. The versatile Revolution will play either horizontally or vertically, allowing the user total flexibility in setting up a gaming session wherever they have a television.

The controller isn’t revealed because that’s the most revolutionary part of the Revolution. Nintendo wishes not to show the controller at E3 2005.



Specs of IBM Hollywood, the Revolution CPU.

Four 2.5Ghz IBM G5 Custom cores with 128KB of level 1 cache and a 512KB shared level 2 cache.

ATI "Broadway"

GPU will offer a dual core RN520 chipset with a 16 MB on-board eDRAM frame buffer.

Other Known Specs

• 802.11B WiFi connectivity with Dual Screen and/or another Revolution with 10 meters away
• Wireless controllers
• backwards compatible with Gamecube software meaning it has a Gecko 485 MHz co-Processor
• Gyroscope controllers with handle rubbing and grip abilities.
