Partially correct.   Many people early on suggested the Wii U's GPU would be based on the HD 4770 which is only slightly less powerful than the HD 4850 (960 Gflops vs 1000 Gflops).

I myself still believe the HD 4770 is likely given the power consumption benefits and currently active die process (40 nm).

Viper, assuming the HD 4770 is the one that the system uses..how much more powerful than the 360 and PS3 GPUs it really is?

If we compare the actual PC GPU, it's a good deal more powerful.   But we can't be certain if the are going to keep the clocks the same, increase them, decrease them, what the effects of the eDRAM will do, etc...

But, based on the knowns we get the following:

PS3's RSX : 190 Gflops
X360's Xenos :  240 Gflops
HD 4770:  960 Gflops

I´m a layman when it comes to that kind of thing, so if the Wii U´s GPU is indeed the HD 4770, does that mean it´s about four times as powerful as the 360´s GPU?...and about the RAM, how much are you expecting?...1,5GB?..2GB?
