 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 cards though.

This is the tesselation capability of the cards that the Wii U is based upon.

 

For tessalation? It have... always have... just the API (software) before DX10.1  (or OpenGL before version 4.0) didn't have support to the tesselation.

The hardware from AMD after R600 always had the capability.
