I guess that's why schools don't accept Wiki as a valid research source. :-)
The CPU is listed as a NEC Chip. Apparently a MIPS (licensed) clone rather

I stand corrected. Of course, in my defense, my daughter had a Nintendo
at some point but I never took it apart to see what was inside. Game
systems never really impressed me.
