Hollywood is the name of the SoC inside of the Wii. It was based on the Flipper SoC. The Hollywood SoC contains multiple pieces of hardware all lumped into one. Nintendo claims that the Hollywood package is the Wii's GPU, however, this is not the case. Hollywood contains the GPU, but it is not, itself, the GPU.
The Hollywood SoC runs at 243MHz (162MHz in Back-Compat mode). The various hardware blocks inside run at various fractions of that speed.
Hollywood contents
The Hollywood SoC contains the following:
- USB (EHCI, and 2x OHCI) Host Controllers
- 2x SD Host Controller (one used for the front SD Card slot, one used for the internal Wi-Fi Card)
- SHA-1 and AES engines to handle encryption
- NAND Interface
- GPIO controller
- The Starlet ARM security co-processor @ chipset clock
- A new Wii Drive Interface replacing the legacy GameCube Drive Interface
- The GX GPU from ArtX, based on the same GX core in the Flipper SoC, running @ SoC clock
- An audio DSP by Macronix @ 1/2 chipset clock
- All of the legacy Flipper interfaces, like AI, SI, EXI, and so on.
