 how much actual infomation about the power of the system can be drawn from this? my guess, not that much

I dunno, I'm sure someone with a lot of tech savvy can do some ballpark deduction from the "three times as much heat as the Wii" bit.


I suspect this means that the Wii U (probably) is using between 40 and 50 Watts, and looking at it I wouldn't be surprised if the GPU is using 30 Watts. This could mean that the GPU could (at best) perform similar to the Radeon HD 7690M XT (TURKS core, 40nm, 25 Watts)

That would make it nearly twice as powerful as the X360 GPU. Seems spot on from what we've all seen, but the CPU looks like it could be a major bottleneck later on. I'm kind of worried about it. Hopefully they'll pull a F-Zero OK. I'm waiting for it for nine years now...
