So is this actually true and confirmed by now or do we still argue about it being a fake etc?

I just send an email to AMD so lets see if and what they tell me.


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.


I dont trust Wikipedia at all  at least the German version. The German wikipedia for instance is full of idiots thats write shit all day write down stuff that is in no way confirmed at all and then block the articles if people try to remove the unconfirmed stuff.....    its so annoying I stopped donating (because it allows idiots to have control) and I stopped writing there too   It was just to annyoing...

I dont know about the English Wikipedia editors etc. tho... because I never wrote something for the English wikipedia. I also feel that my English is not good enough for it. 

If I have to personally use it  I only use the English ersion now but I dont use wikipedia much.

Back to topic:
So its still a rumor ....  and I am still waiting for AMD to reply to my email.
