We now know that this sheet must be hoax as it talks about a "32nm process" whereas IBM has to say:
"
IBM plans to produce millions of chips for Nintendo featuring IBM Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology at 45 nanometers (45 billionths of a meter)."

No information on core count (just "multi-core") or frequency, unfortunately. And Nintendo doesn't reveal any better info either:
"
CPU: IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor."

So let's wait and see if the older
triple-core rumour turns out true.
