Our sources tell us that the ArtX graphics chip can produce many millions of textured polygons per second, much more than the closest console competitor. In this critical area of graphics, Dolphin will leave the competition in its wake.

Forget the rumor mill, that came straight from Nintendo's site. Nintendo provided readers a look into the year 2000 with some straight foreward points on what the Dolphin will offer.

The quote proves that the Dolphin will indeed push more polygons than the PlayStation 2 ("closest console competitor"), giving truth to rumors that the Dolphin will be much more powerful than the PS2. How much more powerful is not known, but should be revealed soon.

It's a relief to know that Nintendo is aiming high with the Dolphin, and is finally (although slowly) releasing more information on the console for the next-generation. NintendoNext will be here when more information is released. So stay tuned!
