Even if the clocks are slower, which I'm certain they will be, it's asinine to try to run your code without optimizing and expecting to run just as good.

The X360 and PS3 CPU's run at 3.2 Ghz. Modern chips from IBM do not have to run that high to achieve more overall power. I doubt even the PS4 and Next X will run at those clocks.

Remember the old AMD Athlon vs Intel Pentium 4 debates? It wasn't about how high you could clock your chip but what you did with each clock that counted. That still applies. It's about efficiency.

So true, if he is only talking about clock speed. If he is also talking about a IPS or processes per second that could be a problem but I doubt that is the case.

I came across a really interesting article (can't find it again for a link but will keep looking) that wii u's true power lie in the GPGPU that is going to do a lot of the CPU work. I am no expert on such matters, it's just what I read.

Time will tell.
