From what we've been led to the WIi U will use a Power 7 derived cpu and a comparable gpu to not cause a bottleneck. The Power 7 is IBM's top line architecture at the moment, and is significantly better than comparable intel core i7s. That means the cpu is derived off of both modern technology, and depending on how many cores and how much clock speed is cut down the cpu should be anywhere from a few to many times that of the Xbox 360s Xenon for example. This is certainly not considered "on par." Since the GPU must not bottleneck the CPU expect something comparable to the Radeon R700 series. Also significantly more powerful than anything you can find in the HD twins. So it's not going to be 'on par' unless you're expecting very unrealistic and expensive advancements for the other next generation consoles if they're released within a year of the WIi U. I think it's fair to say that there is a difference between the PS360 and Wii U, and it will be a significant one at that. Now that isn't to say that the other consoles won't be more powerful than the Wii U. Chances are very high that will be the case. However; will it be comparable to that of this generation? Probably not. I think the difference will be akin to that between the Dreamcast to Xbox at most, and the PS2 to Xbox at least.
