The review is pretty shoddy. At one point they state that the gpu is well known and then they proceed to tell us nothing about it. I can't believe a credible source hasn't provided details specs for the system yet. How can you review a console without knowing detailed specs. |
We can't know the specs, because all leaks about specs come from assembly plants in Taiwan and China. For phones and tablets and earlier consoles it's possible for those people to do outside measurements and read chip ID numbers and match that to off the shelf things from other manufacturers. Like how we know the iPhone has a certain GPU.
But in this case the CPU and GPU are fully custom and there's no way to tell just from looking at the chip surface exactly what kind of thing it is.
Also we can't run arbitrary test code on it like we can for a phone so objective benchmarking isn't possible right now.
All we really know is Wii U GPU > 360/PS3 and Wii U CPU < 360/PS3
