=== PowerPC 750CL === The 750CL is an evolved 750CXe, with speeds ranging from 400 MHz to 1 GHz with a system bus up to 240 MHz, L2 cache prefetch features and graphics related instructions have been added to improve performance. As the added graphics-related functions match closely the ones found in the Gekko processor it is very likely that the 750CL is a shrink of the same processor for general purpose use. The 750CL is manufactured using a 90 nm copper based fabrication with [[Low-K|Low-K dielectric]] and [[Silicon on insulator]] technology and features 20 million transistors on a 16 mm<sup>2</sup> die. It draws up to 2.7 W at 600 MHz, 9.8 W at 1 GHz.<ref>[https://www-01.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/2F33B5691BBB8769872571D10065F7D5/$file/750cldd2x_ds_v2.6_16Oct2009dft.pdf IBM PowerPC 750CL Microprocessor Revision Level DD2.x]</ref> <ref>[http://www.raidenii.net/files/datasheets/cpu/ppc_750cl.pdf IBM PowerPC 750CL RISC Microprocessor User’s Manual] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121115093928/http://www.raidenii.net/files/datasheets/cpu/ppc_750cl.pdf |date=2012-11-15 }}</ref> ==== Broadway ====<!-- This section is linked from [[List of IBM products]] --> [[File:Broadwaycpu.JPG|thumb|This Broadway processor was manufactured in [[East Fishkill]], NY but packaged in IBM's plant in Canada, hence the text on the metal cover.]] {{Main|Broadway (microprocessor)}} The CPU in [[Wii]] is virtually identical to the 750CL but it runs at 729 MHz, a frequency not supported by stock 750CL. It measures only 4.2 x 4.5 mm (18.9 mm<sup>2</sup>). This is smaller than half the size of the "Gekko" microprocessor (43 mm<sup>2</sup>) incorporated in the GameCube at its first release.<ref>[http://raidenii.net/files/datasheets/cpu/ppc_broadway.pdf IBM Broadway RISC Microprocessor User’s Manual, v0.6] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204224011/http://raidenii.net/files/datasheets/cpu/ppc_broadway.pdf |date=2013-12-04 }}</ref> ==== Espresso ==== {{Main|Espresso (microprocessor)}} The CPU in [[Wii U]] is believed to be an evolution of the Broadway architecture. The largely unconfirmed characteristics are a triple core CPU which runs at 1.24 GHz and a 45 nm process.
