I'm sorry, I don't work at AMD.
It's a claim they put up on the features and specifications sheet of the GPU.
You say you know technology progresses, yet you seem to have difficulty believing a 2011 GPU could actually be more pwoerful than a 2008 GPU while consuming less power.

Link to that sheet then?

Seriously, who the hell cares, Mazty? Are you on a mission or something to convert all those dirty Nintendo peasants? If the Wii U has an E6760 GPGPU I am more than happy. You better have to deal with the fact that not everyone wants to have a fucking Midi tower besides their TV's. When I unboxed my PS3 slim earlier this year my eyes fell out and I literally triple checked the box if it really is the "slim" version.
There might very well have been GPU's in 2006 that could rival the E6760 IN POWER, but not as cost efficient and not at the same power consumption rate. So apples to oranges I guess. |
I'm guessing customers care about what they are buying so would like to know if they are getting something that is worth $300 and not, say, $100?
It's not really apples and oranges - it's a case that Nintendo are selling a next gen console with very old tech in it...so it's not really next gen is it? If that's okay for you then fine, but just realise what you are actually buying (so no omg amazing graphics/value for money/etc threads plz).

Are you assuming people only care about buying the most up-to-date technology? The vast majority of stuff you buy are not "up-to-date." Consoles stay relevant for a good half decade or so I would say, and according to you tech becomes "very old" within a year or two.

Exactly - half a decade per generation, and the Wii U is joining this generation when it's been around now for 5-6 years. Where did I say tech becomes "very old" within a year or two?
