Well I'll exclude GPU because, in fairness, much of that is hearsay. That said I still think you're being too dismissive. For example, we know that the Wii U's CPU will be based on IBM's Power7 chipset and this video goes on to make some logical assertions about the Wii U CPU's likely capability based on that information. While it is possible that IBM completely stripped down their chipset to make it less powerful than the PowerPC unit used in the Xbox 360, it's unlikely in the extreme. At the end of the day Nintendo chose the Power7 chipset for the Wii U and if you want to speculate on the Wii U's probable power you have to make logical inferences from that. It seems unlikely that they would choose a chipset like this, only to request it be stripped down to the point where it underperforms a seven year old PowerPC model. Therefore most people would then conclude that they opted for this model because they wanted a more capable processor than those used in the PS360. Again, it's about logical assertions based on the available information.
