OK, credit for this discovery (if it is real) goes to Carty53, who posted the link for a discussion on emux.com where a supposed "SNK employee" spills the beans on the new MVS hardware specs:

And here is the one message from the supposed employee (screen name shinjinaitoh) about the new MVS cart specs:
-----------------
ok i have the specifications on the new 2.5gb cart design. i might add they are PROPOSED specifications!!!. ok lets start
1. The cart is approx 10mm wider above the interface point.
2. 128bit yamaha sound chipset. using 16mb cache.
3. NEC !exclusive! neogeo graphics chipset, approx core spd at 173mhz!!! that has a mem load of 32mb DDram. This chipset is fully capable of 3 dimensional movement but we at snk will be sticking to 2 dimensions for future productions. Thats not to say that other companys will not produce the first 3D neogeo title.
4. internal save slots 8mb approx
5. A stunning 2,5gb!!!!! allowing games to be more detailed, contain speech insted of text in all languages.
6. A bypass instruction set for all old neogeo internal hardware. (this makes the use of the revised graphics and sound chipsets possible)
7. cpu running at an amazing 253mhz!!!!!!! making it potentialy faster than both the ps2 and dreamcast.
8. Each cart will have an output for s-video located on the reverse of the unit. ( saves buying what can be an expensive convertor.) the cart will also have L and R audio outputs.
Other than that information there is no more i am either permitted to say or that i know of. stay tuned for further information. You may ask why we dont just create a whole new console, well our answer to that is So many people in japan have the older hardware that we cant just expect them to dispose of it . besides that the carts all in all are cheaper to purchase than a new console. we feel that sales will be increased to a higher degree with the intruduction of a new cart design rather than a new console AND new carts. >>>>>>>>>>>>> ok let me know what you think would be an improvement on the design and maybe next time i am in a meeting with the management i will suggest your suggestions. you could be a part of the next gen neogeo!!!!!!!!!!!! bye for now your friend shinji

For what it's worth, don't know if its true or not but it does sound very interesting!!!
