−The Wii has two processors. The main processor of the Wii's system, codenamed Broadway, which is a PowerPC processor that does the job of running executable code, and interfacing with legacy hardware, which includes every aspect of the Gamecube's system, with a few exceptions, which aree handled by the PowerPC. The Broadway is also called the PPC, because that is its architecture.

The other processor is nicknamed the Starlet chip, due to the fact that it lives inside the Hollywood graphics processor. The Starlet is an ARM processor that communicates with hardware, as well as the DVD drive. The program that handles communication between the PPC and the hardware is known as [[IOS]], and exists for security.
