What I'm expecting from the (eventual) Wii U CPU specifications when they really become available are ... POWER 7 CPU with 3 or 4 cores running at (roughly) 3GHz and being designed to (essentially) be a chip running in constant TuroboCore mode.
From Wikipedia:
"There is also a special TurboCore mode that can turn off half of the cores from an eight-core processor, but those 4 cores have access to all the memory controllers and L3 cache at increased clock speeds. This makes each core's performance higher which is important for workloads which require the fastest sequential performance at the cost of reduced parallel performance."
