* Main Memory: High Speed RAM
The high speed main system memory is thought to be provided by NEC, and because of its cost-effectiveness Nintendo will be able use a large quantity of it, upwards of 32-64 megabytes(MB), in Dolphin. This memory is integral to Dolphin's performance, as developers need to rely on it for nearly everything they do. The more memory Dolphin has, the faster it will be. The high speed and large quantity will give developers the ability to liberally use detailed motion-captured animations, create endlessly large levels, as well as cut down on load-time.
* Graphics Memory: Embedded MoSys 1T-SRAM
Aside from a main chunk of RAM the whole system can access, Dolphin's graphics chip will also feature from 8-16MB of its own embedded memory. The memory is called 1T-SRAM, and will be supplied the company MoSys Incorporated. It is very similar to normal DRAM, but is dramatically faster, and since the memory is embedded directly into the graphics chip, meaning it doesn't have to go off-chip to access it as with the main memory, it will be able to move data at extremely high speeds. The graphics chip will be unlike any other chip on the market at the time because of the use of the 1T-SRAM. Its blazing speed will give developers room to breath when processing graphics data, and especially textures. The end visual result is bound to be nothing short of stunning. Howard Lincoln, chairman, Nintendo of America's chairman put it best when he said. "We will employ this technology to surpass the game experience offered by any competing console or personal computer."
