[Project Cafe] Nintendo seemingly announces new hardware, premiere at E3

[Project Cafe] Nintendo seemingly announces new hardware, premiere at E3
Looks like E3 is where it will all be going down. Nintendo of Japan has been circulating a press release that lets know that E3 is where our eyes need to be. No name is mentioned in the release, but after Shigeru Miyamoto commented that where there is smoke there is fire.
What are your thoughts on the matter?

This article seems to suggest that Cafe isn't as powerful as IGN is claiming:

Quote:There's also talk of an AMD GPU from the R700 family, which unfortunately tells us very little about what we can expect from Cafe's graphics. However, it does fit in with Nintendo's modus operandi in utilising cheap, existing hardware, most likely with console-specific refinements.

In terms of available power, R700 scales up from anything from a low-power Radeon HD 4350 with 80 streaming processing units all the way to the HD 4890 that utilises 10 times as many. Optimistic speculation zeroes in on the HD 4770 as the most likely candidate for inclusion in Cafe, but our sources suggest that the overall profile of the GPU is much closer to the Xbox 360 - and we've even heard that in some applications it may even operate at a deficit compared to Xenos.

The next six weeks is going to be a cluster**** of rumours and speculation. Hopefully it won't be more than that.
