Gamecube 1.5, more like the Wii
Found this via digg.com, a look at the physical hardware of the Wii and the GC. Here’s a breakdown.
Of note, “Broadway, the Wii’s CPU, is a derivative of the PowerPC 750 CL clocked at 729Mhz,” and that the “Hollywood” GPU has “no notable increases in programmability” over the Gamecube’s “Flipper” GPU. The end result? “The Wii has the processing power of one-and-a-half GameCubes with no noteworthy increases in functionality.”
There are plenty of comments that shed light of the comparison as well. Article is here Enjoy, really makes me wanna laugh at the Wii in a few years.
