I doubt that Nintendo will leave IBM, since their partnership is successful since GameCube days.

One question is, can IBM make a CPU that ain't powerhungry and run on low temperature at least twice the power of Wii CPU? If not, maybe AMD is better choice.

I believe they can. It's mainly a matter of the tech used. Also, for WiiConnect24 kind of feature, it could be enough to get the processor run idle with low clockcycle.

Btw. NES and SNES had CPU:s from Ricoh, N64 NEC, GC and Wii IBM, so i doubt Nintendo has problems to switch the manufacturer if they want to.
