Wii Specs ‘Fully’ Revealed

Maxconsole apparently received word from an “anonymous Wii developer” about the final Nintendo Wii specs. Due to the nature of the source, we can’t be sure if everything is 100% fact – but looking at the amount of information and technical details, I doubt this is a fake.

Since it is a really expansive list, I will only be putting the most important parts here. Click the link below for the full details on all components of the Wii hardware.

So, without further ado:

• Wii’s “Broadway” CPU runs at 729 MHz; 243 MHz 64-bit memory bus (max. bandwidth: 1.9 GB/sec)
• “Hollywood” GPU runs at 243 MHz, with 3 MB of internal graphics memory and 24 MB of high speed main memory (same GPU as in the Gamecube, but runs faster)
• External Main Memory consists of 64 MB of GDDR3 RAM.
• Optical Disc Drive supports Wii disks with either one (4.7 GB) or two (8.51 GB) sides or layers. Read speed is equivalent to DVDx6. GC discs are also supported
• Additional Interfaces that come with the Wii: SD card slot, Wireless controller, two USB 2.0 ports, wireless LAN, 4x GC controller ports, 2x GC memory card slots and an AV multi output jack.
• Wii controller features: Direct Pointing Device, Three axis accelerometer, Wii power button (remotely turn console on/off), buttons, wireless connectivity, indicator LEDÂ’s, rumble, battery powered (two AA alkaline batteries) and able to connect an extension unit.
