Power 6 Chip is old ....2007! Claimed to be the FASTER processor around back in the day at 4.6GHz

This thing is gonna cost some D:

Oh yeah my bad. Intel is the one moving to 22nm next year (or this year? I forget. Its the Sandy Bridge die shrink)

Wasn't Intel working on something with Nintendo? :0

Correct.  Likely 2012 for Ivy Bridge.  The Sandy Bridge die shrink.

I think Intel was talking to Nintendo about the former Larrabee GPGPU system but since Intel canceled the original concept of Larrabee it's no longer an option.

oh lame.... :|

Maybe they said that and it's all secret. I guess we'll find out in about a week. Can't wait. ><

I have a question for you guys. Seeing how the "dolphin" emulator has been shown to upconvert or whatever it does Wii games to 1080p, do you think it would be at all possible to do the same with a console?

Intel not cancelling Larrabee as a secret ploy?  Not when it comes to informing investors, the US SEC, and other licensing partners that it was canceled.   The architecure lives on as a research system but not as the GPGPU bad ass we were looking forward to in 2008/2009 (2009 was ehen they canceled it by the way).

Eh, you never know until you do know which will be when Reggie steps onto stage with a strange box in one hand and a coffee cup in another.

The surprise? Turns out the coffee cup is the size of the new console ;)

The slogan, "Bigger is not always better"

Then begs the question, well, where do we stick the disc in?

Answer, you don't. You Stream it in like how you do when you pour coffee into a cup.

:D

this coming from the guy who thinks the 3DS will still sell 300 million units at the very least. lol

You forgot the obvius red flag of the fact that they refered to it as Blu-ray something nintendo would never do even if it was bassed on blu-ray, they would have referred to it as Nintendo disc format 3. Holographic discs are still 5 years away from being mass market, including one in the cafe would cost far more, for far longer than Blu-ray in the PS3 both the drives and discs are very expensive to manufacture each disc currently costs $100 plus and even including the ramp up in production for Cafe I doubt they could get it below $1 per disc by 2012 which means Nintendo won't use it.
