Can't say for sure without knowing all of the specs, but I'd venture to say that what we know so far puts Wii U somewhere in the 2x as powerful territory.

I supose my 1.5x from what developers said until now... like the Trine 2's developer in this news... looking only the specs I have the feeling:

CPU - Less powerfull than PS360
GPU - About 1.5x better than PS360
Memory - About 2.5-3x better than 360 / 4x better than PS3.

I'm basing it on what is known, not what I feel.

CPU - Unconfirmed. Slower clock speed supposedly, the impact of which depends on the type of CPU being used.

GPU - Somewhat confirmed. It's known to be Raedon-based, which could either allow DirectX 10.1 equivalent features or DX11 depending on the specifics. Either way it's better.

GPGPU - Unconfirmed. Rumor has it that it "squashes" the 360's GPGPU. If so, it should alleviate some problems that could arise with the CPU. Plus it would be awesome.

Memory - As it stands, somewhere around 3x better than PS3/360 is believeable.

Overall - Hard to say, but I think it could be anywhere between 2-3x more powerful. It largely depends on the exact GPU being used, though. That will determine for sure if it can support "next-gen" games so to speak.
