It has now been confirmed that Nintendo's next generation console will be called Nintendo Game Cube (Oh, how original! Hard to guess what shape it will be in...), already nicknamed N-Cube. It will sport a PPC-variant CPU from IBM, called Gekko. Graphics hardware is designed by ArtX and S3. Interestingly, former Amiga game developers Factor 5 are involved on the software side writing the sound system. The machine is due out conveniently in the first half of 2001. IGN have opened a Cube webpage with lots of info.

In reply to Comment 2 (Aram Iskenderian):
S3 will only provide the texture compression technology. The gfx chip is designed by ArtX who were also responsible for N64's graphics hardware. ArtX is owned by ATI, BTW.
