A lot of years ago I remember one post in some web I can not remember about Nintendo 64 manufacture history. I remember that it said that Sillicom Graphics (SGI) had heavy issues during the design/manufacture of the N64 CPU. Because of this, finally the CPU was made by other company, not SGI.
Recently I looked for that post but could not find it. I read other posts about this history but none talks about this SGI issue thing.
Does somebody know anything about this? Maybe is just im remember it wrong.

Says here SGI demoed the coprocessor to both Nintendo and Sega. Sega bowed out after their engineers found / perceived problems with the SGI design. I do not remember any behind the scenes article about the realtionship between Nintendo and SGI but having heard a lot of stories, I suspect the read would be entertaining …
