What I don't get:
Why are you ignoring the GPU in AMDs A8-3850 APU? It's called HD 6550D and is capable of delivering 480GFlops (with fast enough memory, like e.g. GDDR5) at it's base clock (which is a lot lower than what is possible because in PCs where this APU is typically used the DDR3-RAM is too slow and so they cut the power of the GPU down; but there's no problem to apply a 20-30% higher clock to it -even 50% is possible but that may result in too low yield rates or too much power consumption).

So you have at least 480GFlops to add to the PS4s graphics power.

edit: and another thing I don't get: Why are you thinking that the Wii Us graphics card will have DP? You don't need DP for anything in gaming. That's more for scientific work. Also the bandwidth of the cards does not matter as long as it's fast enough so that the GPU does not have to wait for data. But that's not a problem in any of the graphics cards, so you might just skip that values (there really is nothing that they tell about the power of GPUs; things like Pixel (Fill) Rate or Texel Rate etc. would tell a lot more).


1) I know it comes with teh 6550, but the rumors stated it had the 7000 series card instead.

2) The values for each gpu/cpu are based on stock off the shelf values and the associated rumors. So while wii u's initial card has DP but its not needed as you say, it still stock with that feature, so I noted it. If you notice with wii u's newest gpu rumor that one is not DP, so who knows. I also note that those specs are definitely not final as each company will heavily tweak the card for their use and right now no one knows what the tweaks are. However, I guess I could change the values I'm showing to ones people may care more about.

 

ALL, let me know what values/data would be better to see in the CPU/GPU comparisons and I'll fix.
