July 31st, 2006
Every now and then, a site posts a Wii secret revealed exclusively to them by a secret Nintendo insider, or someone that knows someone that knows a Nintendo hardware engineer. This time, MaxConsole posts a detailed list of Wii’s hardware, including info on the CPU, GPU, RAM etc. Some of these specs were revealed by IGN a few months ago, but not in detail as here;
- Nintendo Wii’s ‘Broadway’ CPU operates at 729MHZ with a maximum bandwidth of 1.9gbyte/sec.
- Nintendo Wii’s ‘Hollywood’ GPU is clocked at 243MHZ, the internal memory of it includes 3mb of embedded graphics memory and 24 MB of high speed main memory.
- 64megabytes of GDDR3 (MEM2) as the external main memory. Just like the internal memory, it can be accessed from the CPU and GPU with a maximum bandwidth of 4gbytes/sec and can also store programs in the MEM2.
- The GPU of the Wii is identical to the GameCube’s but it is on average 1.5X faster.
Full list of specs can be found here. We don’t have to remind you that none of it is official, right?
