'Broadway' is the codename for IBM's PowerPC based CPU for Nintendo's
Revolution system, successor to the Gamecube.. (Gamecube uses an IBM CPU
called Gekko which is a beefed up PowerPC 750CX)

It is unknown if Broadway is single core or multi-core... my guess is a
very capable single core, more complex than the 3 simple cores in the IBM
Xenon/Waternoose CPU for Xbox360, or the PPE in CELL for PS3.
