if i remeber right the core in the wii is a 2nd generation custom build off the 750CXe think 2001 and imac it was a 32 bit chip with a 128 bit vector core ripped out and a few other changes, i dont remember ever reading that they moved it to a newer family of chips so it stands to reason if its still based on the 740/750 and just a 3rd revision custom it would still be 32 bit.... though i dont know why they would not go after a new core alnog the lines of what ms/sony has or a newer member of the power family the 740/750 the made very good strides in low power is quite antiquated ... IBM also said it would never go below 90nm so if the chip is 90nm bet its still a 740/50 ... if not then a new core
so could still be a custom powerpc core... and power is related to powerpc pretty closely.... some members of power are PPC as well...
