Nintendo Revolution Details Leak Out
Nintendo’s Revolution console will be powered by a 729MHz processor – 50 per cent more clock cycles than its predecessor in the GameCube – and a graphics chip set to run at 243MHz, it has been claimed. Who knows if these rumors are true, but if they are it is good news for Nintendo fans.
The sources claim the console will contain a further 24MB of main memory. Like the GameCube, Revolution will use MoSys’ 1T-SRAM technology, which brings SRAM speeds to the kind of capacities only DRAM can offer. The 24MB are described as “internal” memory, and there’s said to be a further 64MB of “external” 1T-SRAM, presumably on some sort of card, though whether it’s user-accessible isn’t clear at this stage. The device is also said to contain 512MB of Flash memory.
