this chip would be a good step up from Xenos/RSX, but by todays graphic cards offerings it's low end
for comparison, the E6760 is almost the same as the GPU on the Radeon HD 6670: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6670/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6670-overview.aspx#2
both have 480stream processors but that one is clocked at 800MHz, so it does 768Gflops, while the E6760 (at 600MHz) does 576Gflops
the HD 6670 card is about as good as the HD 4850 in the comparison I found (it largely depends on the games used in those), but as I said the E6760 clocks 25% lower so expect it to be perform a bit less than that

Apparently you missed the part where it would be custom and perform better than the counterparts. That's cool though.

Custom what? Usually that means worse. We are using cards like the 6570 and 6670 to compare. However the actual card it is based on is weaker than those. So best case scenario, your little optimization will still get you a $40 bairly able to play modern games well card. HAVE FUN! LMFAO!

Uh, no, that is not what "custom" typically means.
Let me spell this out for you:
*NIntendo asks for a part that fits into their budget/power profile.
*Nintendo asks for xyz additions to the GPU's microcode (and, if within budget, the silicon) to handle things like, say, DX11-style effects.
*If those additions fit into their budget, they get added.
This is why using an older GPU actually makes sense: you get a *much* cheaper part which you can then modify the crap out of.
It's no different, at all, than people that buy a Honda Civic (Instead of, say, a Porsche Boxster) and trick it out so that it destroys the Boxster for a fraction of the cost of the Boxster.
In your world, however, that custom Civic is actually a weaker car than the Boxster by virtue of being custom despite murdering it in the 0-60, 0-100, and 100-0.
(But I'm sure the Boxster has a better stereo, so that makes it a better car, right?)
