Features & Benefits GPU and memory in one MCM BGA package Desktop level graphics, multimedia and compute capabilities 480 shader processors 128-bit memory interface with 1 GB GDDR5 Microsoft® DirectX® 11 support Third generation unified video decoder Support for H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2/4 decode Dual HD decode, Blu-ray & stereo 3D Up to 6 displays with AMD Eyefinity1 technology AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP)2 technology for supercomputing capabilities 5 year supply with dedicated support3

Which doesn't give much information, but a couple things worth noting:

-that's a lot more shading capabilities than Xbox360 or PS3
-supports up to 6 displays = the WiiU's current max of 3 (which likely be upgradeable in the future with a firmware update) won't be a problem
-matches what else we know about WiiU, like video RAM.
