Depends on how much you trust wikipedia.
According to the wii u wiki page.
Technical specifications
Nintendo has released technical specifications of the Wii U hardware, which are listed below. These specifications are subject to change.
Processors- GPU: AMD Radeon enhanced E6760+ GPGPU
- The Wii U CPU is designed by IBM. It is described by IBM as an "all-new, Power-based microprocessor", the processor is a multi-core design manufactured at 45 nm with an eDRAM cache. Neither Nintendo nor IBM has revealed detailed specifications, such as the number of cores, clock rate, or cache sizes. References have been made to the chip containing "a lot" of eDRAM and "the same processor technology found in Watson". The Wii U CPU will be produced by IBM at their 300 mm semiconductor manufacturing facility in East Fishkill, New York.
Recently their have been reports that it is not a Power7 but based on Power architecture. I have reasons to doubt this but not totally.
Ultimately this will go on...and on...and on until all is confirmed.
