Only 20% more powerful?! :O NOOOOOOOOOO!!

This is just my opinion and I can be wayyyyyyyyyyy wrong (I hope so).

I hope so too =)

This is not the entire truth... check this site out and read what they have to say about the RAM:

http://site.gamingallthetime.com/gamerx-stories/the-wii-u-has-landed-dispelling-rumors

Just wait... They don't even testes the eDRAM ... Please don't get brainwashed..remember what was told you numerous time before :

It would cost Big N more money to actually invest in older tech ;)

I agree with you but what the guy wrote in the article is absolute false... eDRAM have nothing to do with bandwidth speed of the main RAM and even the memory controler is wayyyyyyyyy faster it have to handle just 17.5GB/s because the main RAM is a bottleneck.

Seems like the guy in this site knows nothing about hardware.

Edit - Anyway at 800Mhz the memory can have 12.8GB/s with 16bits... even with 32bits interface * the max for GDDR3 * it will be 25.6GB/s (on pair with PS360).

That's the GPU right? Man that thing is small...

That's the CPU... Anand kind of razorblade the CPU a bit.

About the system noises "This console really makes the worst noises (not because I razorbladed the CPU a bit, nintendo just thinks these sounds are cool)"

And a photoshoped picture of CPU because he hurts it lol lol lol.

It's ready... good read.

"There are four 4Gb (512MB) Hynix DDR3-800 devices surrounding the Wii U's MCM (Multi Chip Module). Memory is shared between the CPU and GPU, and if I'm decoding the DRAM part numbers correctly it looks like these are 16-bit devices giving the Wii U a total of 6.4GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. That doesn't sound like a lot, but the Wii U is supposed to have a good amount of eDRAM for both the CPU and GPU to use."

Edit - I think Anand made a mistake with the maths... 800Mhz @ 16 bits give it 12.8GB/s and not 6.4GB/s... even so it's too little but explain why the multiplayer in BOPS2 for Wii U have static shadows.

"There are actually three components on this single package, made in at least two different microprocessor fabs. The multicore PowerPC based CPU is the smaller of the two larger chips. This die is made on IBM's 45nm SOI process. The RV7xx derived GPU is the biggest die on the package, and I'm presuming it was made on a 40nm process. I'm assuming the very tiny die in the corner is actually some off-chip memory. Both the CPU and GPU in the Wii U are supposed to have some eDRAM, although the bulk of it is likely dedicated for the GPU.

If we assume a 40nm process for the GPU, then we're looking at something a bit larger than the RV740."
