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...


Looking just a GFLOPS, the Xenos pushed 240 GFLOPS while the Radeon HD 7690M XT pushes 696 GFLOPS, which would be (almost) 3 times as powerful; but still in the range that everyone was (realistically) expecting.

Nah. No way then. I must have mistook it for something else. Efficiency per watt of current transistor manufactuing methods doesn't come even close to that. A crude way of measuring how powerful a hardware will be but still. We're looking at 400-450 GFLOPS tops.
