 So that mean that its likely still a smaller version of the 4950 like what was said in the early days after last years e3. They also said it had an independent tessellator then, so I am inclined to believe its true.

All AMD/ATI GPUs after R600 has a independent tessellaton unit (the R500 XENOS has too).

Yeah...I told you that earlier....

None of them had the capability of the DX10.1 capable cards though.

This is the tesselation capability of the cards that the Wii U GPU is based upon only with support for an even higher OpenGL equivelent to DirectX that is more on par with DX11. The Wii U GPU should be more capable than that as result. This should be interesting.
