| curl-6 said: So if the GC doubles the Xbox in CPU grunt, and the Wii is 50% faster than the GC, then the Wii has 3 times the CPU power of the Xbox? |
The one in the GC is close to 3 times as powerful so I would set the one in the Wii at a little over 4.
Remember that the on top of the 3 processes per cycle, their prcoessor were also 64 bit while the Xbox1 is 32 bit. That allows it to read and right twice as much data per cycle alone. Then add in the extra features like the velocity engine and other special instruction sets. Then add in the larger processor cache.
I would place the Wii's CPU at being at least 4 times as strong as the one in the Xbox1.
The Wii also dumped the auxillary DRAM and moved to faster 64 MB GDDR3 which is also what the 360 uses(albeit, its a lot faster in the 360) and it a faster variant of the 1T-SRAM from the GC.
Its sad that 99% of the Wii's libraby doesn't even look as good the games on the GC. The Wii was capable of so much more than what was done with it.
