Nintendo Revolution and Broadway CPU
« on: March 13, 2005, 07:47:30 AM »
Nintendo had announced new Revolution console with Broadway CPU from IBM. Is this CPU based on PowerPC architecture?
Is it possible to port MorphOS to this CPU?

=======================================================
Following months of speculation, Nintendo has revealed just enough information about the Next-Generation console, called Revolution to keep us guessing. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata speaking at the GDC announced that the Nintendo 'Revolution' will feature built-in Wi-Fi protocols, which will allow users around the world to connect with one another wirelessly. Revolution's technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway," and a graphics chip set from ATI code-named "Hollywood," are being designed to deliver game experiences not possible to date."We're excited to be developing the graphics chip set for Revolution, which continues our long-standing relationship with Nintendo,' says Dave Orton, ATI Technologies Inc.'s president and chief executive officer. "As the leading graphics provider, ATI is committed to delivering exceptional visual performance that enables consumers to interact with new and visually compelling digital worlds. ATI is proud to support Nintendo's innovative contributions to gaming."
"This is Nintendo's plan: make our existing game world better,"Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said. "For us, this is a passion. Thisis a mission of adventure."

AROS would be better! :-D


@itix if you are reading this

If/when AROS gets ported to native PPC machines, would you be up for porting your OS4EMU to it? :-D
