More Nintendo Revloution

Basically my life has degenerated into Nintendo Revolution news searching. I found a rumor on the specs of the Revolution that says it is more powerful than XBOX 360 and even has a GPU unit that is more powerful than PS3. Though overall PS3 is more powerful. Supposedly it has 4 2.5 ghz G5 class PowerPC chips plus a dual core graphics chip developed by ATI. The dual core in the graphics chip would be the first dual core graphics chip in a console. I think the rumored specs are highly suspect as Nintendo has said Revolution is only 2-3 more times powerful than Gamecube. But then again what in the hell do those types of comparisons mean. How does one say that Xbox 360 is 10-15 times more powerful. I don't understand how they arrive at those numbers. While combing through endless fanboy chatter on message boards I really haven't found any real news. I do find it interesting that IBM makes the main processors for all three systems. They are going to cleanup regardless.
