360's CPU is Triple core at 3.2 GHz and has 512mb gddr3 shared between both processors.
Assuming this rumor is true, don't let the fact that both processors are triple core at the same speed fool you into thinking they are about the same; the WIIU is based of Power7 architecture while 360 is PowerPC.
The original rumor had the CPU with 512mb XDR2 and 1gb gddr5 for the GPU which far exceeds 768mb of likely ddr3 shared between both processors. 1.5gb total RAM would be much more futureproof than 768mb. Not to mention 768 total is obviously not much more than 512mb (in current consoles) even if it runs at twice the speed.
Though the GPU is more in lock at R770 (custom 4770) this alone puts it on top of current consoles about a decent margin imo. Yes it is more powerful. Nintendo has confirmed native 1080p so that says something. IMO the WiiU should have no problem with games at 1080p native at 30fps with 2-4x anti aliasing. Compare that with the average multiplat and some exclusives on current consoles releasing sub 720p 25-30fps at 2-4x anti aliasing.
In my opinion WiiU is poised to have impressive visuals, however it will obviously be left behind when the nextbox and ps4 drop. It doesn't mean WiiU will have lackluster graphics though.
