IBM takes 'Broadway' to the Nintendo stage

Wii processor ready to roll

IBM is to start shipping its "Broadway" PowerPC processor to Nintendo for use in its Wii games console.

Broadway uses a 90 nm SOI CMOS process and is manufactured at IBM's East Fishkill, NY, fabrication facility on 300mm wafers.
