NEC opens a new factory to pump out graphics chipsets for the GameCube
NEC has announced that they have just opened their new $761 million manufacturing facility to produce Flipper graphics chipsets for the Nintendo GameCube. Mass production of the GPU had already begun in January but with the new factory there should be much increased output of chip sets. With NEC already producing massive amounts of chips, it looks like the GameCube will have no trouble hitting its launch date.
