Actually, no.  The tablet screen won't ahve a GPU and processor as the data is just a video stream from the Wii U.

now, wouldn't that be kinda disapointing. i'm no techie but wouldnt it still need some sort of processor to translate the touch on the touchscreen? or could that be done through the wii u itself?

now, if its just a screen and the video streamed from the wii u, the rumored one tablet per wii u capacity makes sense now.

It's all streamed from the Wii U.  However, the 1 Wii U tablet per console thing is a financial decision, not technical.    Nintendo already stated the Wii U could stream to more than 1 tablet at a time.  But it's the costs to consumers for buying more than 1 tablet controller that is at the heart of their internal debate.
