EETimes reports that the CPUs that will power Nintendo's upcoming Wii console are now shipping from IBM's Fishkill fab. Mass production of chips shipping means we're that much closer to seeing the final product on a store shelf near you...

"IBM and Nintendo signed a multi-year chip production agreement to support the upcoming launch of the game console earlier this year. IBM claims that the chip, code-named 'Broadway,' will deliver experiences not previously possible on video game consoles."
