Nintendo Revolution Details   by James W at 20:00

Nintendo
Revolution Report have interviewed ATI to find out more about the graphics chip behind Nintendo's Revolution console. While the specification of the Revolution is unlikely to match Xbox 360 or PS3 the hardware still has a lot going for it.

Revolution Report: What is the difference between making graphics cards for PCs and graphics chips for consoles?

Swinimer: There are different, unique aspects to it. There are complexities that are required. The underlying value is there -- getting pixels on the screen. that's the bottom line. Beyond that, you have to consider other things about the audio, and about the form factor. When working on a PC, there are industry specifications or standards that you have to adhere to. There are video standards; there are actual requirements when you put it on a PC. When you are working on the console space, those specifications are not as rigid.
