IGN's Matt Casamassina has gotten his hands on the most recent technical specs for the Nintendo Revolution, compiled from a few "extremely reliable" sources. Here is what developers will working with:

* The "Broadway" CPU: 729MHz (approximately the same speed as the original Xbox)
* The "Hollywood" GPU: 243MHz (again, very close to the power of the original Xbox) with 3MBs of texture memory
* RAM: 88MBs, which breaks down to 24MBs of main 1T-SRAM and 64MBs of "external" 1T-SRAM, which one developer notes "can be accessed as quickly as the main RAM, which is nice." The original Xbox, in continuing with teh comparison, had 64MBs of total RAM.

Well this is pretty weak compared to everything else. But it really is what Nintendo is looking to do. They are not looking to create a computer or all in one media machine. They are looking to create a gaming console. Because it really doesn't have HD support it really doesn't need as much graphics power. They aren't out to make the fastest machine. They just want ease of use, originality, and great games.
