Wii successor to use next-generation PowerPC CPU?

New evidence suggests that the Wii's successor may utilize the world's fastest embedded processor, contrary to previous rumours that it would make use of the Cell chip.

"The CPU runs at the impressive clock speed of 1.6 GHz, and is fabricated in a 45 nanometre process. Up to 16 cores can be crammed onto a single chip while taking up half the space a single (and far less powerful) Broadway does."

First i was like 1.6? Then i was like 16 cores?!
And now im like =D...

And since it support full legacy code its easier for developers to unlock its power.

But rumor is rumor as is rumor stays rumor.

"If the technical mumbo jumbo is too much for you, allow me to put it into simpler words: the PowerPC 476FP is realistically able to provide an incredible amount of processing power that is quite possibly well beyond even the PlayStation 3′s Cell while being just as easy to program for as the Wii, and retains full backwards compatibility with its games."

O god...incoming Ps3 terror....

"incoming ps3 terror"

really? u gonna set aside any actual discussion about technology and kick off with ur insecurities!?

said it before will say it again the wii consumer will not buy a new machine till the old one breaks, like a toaster or a blender.

and you should be worried about how much nintendo will pay for bluray in their next machine rather than its cpu :) LOL

ChickeyCantor5679d ago

I stopped reading after your first sentence.
I was just simply stating that it was enough to trigger another pointless "fanboy" rage.

"and you should be worried about how much nintendo will pay for bluray in their next machine rather than its cpu :) LOL"

Wut fool still believes that? Who is still thinking that nintendo will adopt blu ray? I want all those who think that come here. I will shoot u down with the bullet known as "common sense". u cant be serious jack i think u missed the /s tag there buddy. Surely a slightly competent user of n4g like urself cant be seriously thinking that the Big N wud adopt blu ray? wut lol. I dont know when gaming started for u kid but u obviously fresh. ninty will never do that, much to the chagrin of most nintendo followers. I know how great blu ray is.

but sadly that fantasy wont happen till Wii3 happens. no chance for wii2. why? look at nintendo's history newbie gamer. when the cd came out did ninty go for it? hell no stuck to cartridges. wut about dvd? nope not that one either instead they did a minidvd propriety to not pay fees and save money. heck right now hd-dvd is much more likely for wii2 than blu ray. and thats assuming if ninty feels like upgrading from dvd.

insecurities? u seem to be the one insecure here. i cud care less wut u say right now that quote makes u an ignorant gamer in my eyes and as an old school gamer i have no respect for the new gen such as urself.

lastly, dont do a " :} " when ur making urself pretty stupid its not cool and it impresses nobody. if anything all u earn is joining an exclusive club of mine known as "the ignorelist" and pity. pity to those who know not and are in need of knowing.

nintendo is unpredictable but this i can be sure of as i know them all too well over the years. blu ray is a dream for the ninty fans. im content with wut i got that and i do got a ps3. but otherwise... yeah kid blu ray no. not gonna happen its gonna be some bs propriety format just like the wii propriety dvd.

Thats music to every Nintendo fans ears(Full backwards compatibility).

Titanz5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

Nintendo won't use the chip, or false that the chip isn't more powerful than the cell?

Active Reload5679d ago

If Ninty doesn't use this I'll skip their next console...maybe,lol.

Samus HD5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

all I know is that they won't do the same mistake ( if it was a mistake ) they did with the Wii - I mean not anymore powerless comparing to playstation or xbox etc

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi83d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer84d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot83d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno83d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay83d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno82d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK82d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
