As for specs, since you seem to be really privy on them, the Revolution will indeed support both 720p as well as 1080i. The GPU of the console packs quite a punch. It?s actually two cores linked together with ATi?s alternative on nVidia?s SLI.



Though no releasedate has probably been determined yet by Nintendo (current releasedate looks to be around March next year in Japan), this could mean that Revolution will be the first device to support this ATi technology. Even before they introduce it to the PC market.

#60592 Posted on: 05/02/2005 11:49 AM Sorry corrosive, the one who seems to be the fanboy here - if anyone - is you, since you bring up PS3 out of the blue when nobody else has done so. Look... There's a lot of speculation and rumors flying around about all the consoles right now, most of them are undoubtedly BS. This one is so OBVIOUSLY so, I mean, COME ON, four G5 cores? That's patently rediculous for so many reasons, just the power supply would likely have to deliver 300W just for the processors, if not even more (current 1.5GHz chips is at ~90W each), and think of the cost... Rediculous! It's a classic example of taking rumor X about console Y and salting all the already completely bogus specs a bit to make your preferred brand look even better, and then maybe adding some nebulous nonsense about "sources say" or "insider information" on top. You didn't actually believe all that bunk about 4 G5s and 2 ATi GPUs and stuff, did you?
