Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft : Wii U CPU on par with PS360, GPU only 1.5x Powerful?

Crazy if true.

http://www.insidegamer.nl/nieuws/98237/ac3-cpu-wii-u-net-zo-krachtig-als-ps3-x360-gpu-is-sterker

News | June 8, 2012 - The central processing unit (CPU) of the U Wii is as powerful as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but the graphics processing unit (GPU) is one and a half times as strong. That is what an employee of Ubisoft stated to Insidegamer.

Ubisoft provided this information from a gameplay demo of Assassin's Creed 3. The editor of Insidegamer noting however that the game is on Wii U currently less good looking than the other consoles, with less detail and less constant framerate.

This can still be solved; because the Wii U is a new console, developers are still getting used to develop for the device. According to Ubisoft Assassin's Creed for Wii U will, at the time of release, be of the same quality as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

I don't have as much athority to claim something as a developer has, but this doesn't seem right compared with the Wii U's processor. It's a well-known fact that the Cell is a more powerful processor than the Xbox 360's Tri-core, so that's already a little iffy on the developer. Second, this is a much newer design than either, so I can't see why it can't be more efficient than the processor in both consoles. If anything, people have been saying that the processor in the Wii U is the one component that is supposedly a solid step up from the other consoles.



I don't know why people tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer, I have lots of lives!

An anonymous employee? Sounds legit.



Love and tolerate.

shit is obviously a troll article since we know PS3's CPU is stronger than the 360.



They also said Wii U supports only 1 Gamepad not the most trustworthy devs as of now

Looks like I will only be enjoying WiiU games 1.5x as much, as I grind my teeth over the missed opportunity for this number to be 100, 1,000, or even a million times bigger.



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

powerpc core at 3.2 ghz *3, same in both 360 and wiiU
gpu runs at ~750 mhz, 1.5 times the power
on paper the statement is true for someone that doesn't understand technology, why do you think nintendo doesn't release specs



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

Thanks for stealing what I was going to say!

Seriously, Ubisoft, shut up.

at first they were obviously unsure of if they wanted to restrict it to one or not

Did they definitely confirm they would be able to support to pads?  Last I read, they were still just toying around with the idea.
