If you ask me we don't need that, I have one processor that is a lot slower than this IBM thing and it still doesn't slow down any new games. Two processors (which, unlike the other consoles, will likely have more specific tasks) demand multiprocessing, though, which games don't deliver.
Doesn't surprise me that the N5 will have two CPUs, the DS has two and Iwata said the DS is a sample of what they're planning for the N5.
But if they have two processors then in a year or so when the processors start getting outdated then they won't have to slow down the games, they can continue moving forward for longer
