Topic: More purported Wii specs

[thejeek]

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

[GoldenPhoenix]

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.

just had to let you know that I already posted them.

[thejeek]

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

[thejeek]

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?
