I knew this. I knew that 3-4 times X360 that some people claimed would turn out to be wrong.

1.5 x X360 seems very legit.

(CPU is irrelevant for graphics. It's all about the GPU).

Practically irrelevant.

When people read news such as this they're thinking "oh, it's 1.0 x CPU and 1.5 x GPU of the X360, therefore the Wii U must be 1.25 x X360, right?", when in fact reality is that the Wii U has 1.5 x a X360.

The CPU of an X360 could support a GPU at least 4 times stronger than the X360's GPU with only a slight loss in framerate.

Bottom line: CPU power has only a marginal effect on graphics, unless you put a really underpowered CPU in a system.
