Title: More purported Wii specs
Post by: thejeek on July 31, 2006, 11:38:09 PM
Yet more claimed Wii specs here: (specs at maxconsole.com). These are basically the IGN 729MHz Broadway/243MHz Hollywood specs but there's more detail here, including specifics on memory. No idea of reliability of this site - I found it through beyond3d.com

Yeah I looked at that, and personally I find it suspect. How does such a small site get sources like that? Even at that, I am always cautious of all "Unnamed" sources, whether they be from that site or IGN.

I agree they're probably suspect - I really only posted them for completeness sake. I have problems with several points - including mixture of GDDR3 + 1T memory, lockable L1 cache, CPU specs look like PPC 750 but claim out of order execution (pretty sure 750 is in order) etc. etc.

a birdy threw out the strange (exact) number of 96MB in passing the other day when talking about the Wii

96MB would be odd, given that backwards compatibilty needs 3MB embedded frame buffer + texture cache - 99MB total would be more plausible, I guess. Or perhaps this birdie meant 96MB, excluding embedded GPU memory?
