Nintendo Revolution Specs Leaked?

CNet's Gaming Blog is reporting on an article posting on ARS Technica that has published rumors of Nintendo Revolution specs. ARS Technica attributes the rumored specs to be from someone who, "had previously pegged the Xbox 360's specs almost spot on prior to any official Microsoft announcement." So, take the rumors as you will, I'm just reporting them because it's fun.

According to the ARS Technica article, the rumored specs are as follows: "A single dual-threaded IBM 'custom' PowerPC 2.5GHz CPU, with 256 KB L1 cache and 1MB of L2 cache (L3 cache is rumored)." The ATI GPU solution "is rumored to consist of a RN520 600MHz core, backed with 256MB of RAM and '32 parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines.'" Finally, the Revolution will, "come with a Physical processing chip (PPU) with 32MB of dedicated RAM, and the CPU will "be saddled up next to 512MB of system RAM."

And that's all I have for you.
