Who are Nintendos hardware partners on Revolution?
During the course of the last two years, several major hardware companies have been linked to Revolution including IBM, ATI, and NEC. In December 2002 Bloomberg reported that Nintendo had agreed to collaborate with NEC on a system LSI that would serve as the core for the new console. Just a few months later GameCube graphics chip maker ATI announced a vague “technology development agreement” for use in future “Nintendo products.” Unconfirmed reports from insiders alleged that ATI had been in development with the graphics chip for Revolution well before that announcement. And several unsubstantiated rumors have suggested that IBM will deliver a modified version of its PowerPC G5 processor for Revolution.
