Remember, it isn't an off the shelf CPU, its based on an off the shelf CPU with Nintendo requested customization. Likewise with the GPU. If Nintendo wants ATI and IBM to include Wii BC on each chip, they can make that happen. |
The CPU, yes but not likely possible on the GPU. It would be cheaper and easier to simply die shrink Hollywood and do B/C with that than to try to design a modern GPU with both a unified shader and a TEV.
