Nintendo Revolution will use MoSys 1T-SRAM. my thoughts

http://gc.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=4846

(read the article there, it is *not* pasted below)

Revolution is apparently going to be released in mid 2006.  it will be using
MoSys 1T-SRAM for memory, like the Gamecube.

it seems that Elpida lost out on the Revolution RAM deal.

Elpida is a major provider of RAM. they're one of the RAM providers of
Rambus XDR memory for the upcoming PlayStation3.

MoSys was first selected by Nintendo in the late 1990s to make the RAM for
Dolphin (Gamecube) because of their special low-latency (fast)  1T-SRAM.

It seems Nintendo liked it enough to keep MoSys in on the successor system.

now lets hope that there is *enough* RAM in -Revolution- to make developers
happy.

It was revealed at Nintendo's Spaceworld 2000 show in Japan that the amount 
of RAM in Gamecube was cut dramatically, compared to how much it was 
originally supposed to have when the system was called Project Dolphin.

"okay, you probably don't know or remember this, but, back in 1999 and upto 
August 2000, the Nintendo Dolphin, which ARTX was the central hardware 
developer of, was supposed to get 8 MB to 16 MB of embedded 1T-SRAM on that 
Flipper GPU -- but by Spaceworld in Aug 2000, that amount was cut to 3.12 
MB.

(the main system memory was changed from 32~64 MB of NEC DRAM to 24 MB of 
MoSys 1T-SRAM)


Now we learn  that MoSys is again back with Nintendo for the Gamecube's 
successor, the Revolution. there is almost no doubt that ATI West Coast, the 
Silicon Valley design center in Santa Clara, CA is working with MoSys and 
NEC to embedded some next generation 1T-SRAM onto Revolution's GPU, 
codenamed 'Hollywood'.

how much baby, that is the question! "

Stop cross-posting to the PC groups. Not everyone gives a rat's ass about

Or that it doesn't automatically jump to the bottom when some
moron neglects to trim the quoted material appropriately.

Top-posting is bad - ALMOST as bad as a bottom-poster
who doesn't trim, and makes you wade through 300 lines of
other @#$$&@^%! you've already read just to get to his
"me, too!" comment.

Replace "ALMOST as bad as" with "Even worse than" and I
would have made that "me, too!" comment ;)
