Trine 2 pushes the Wii U beyond what's possible on current consoles

lol better than any PC I have seen.

The CPU is not based in Watson... I'm sure because IBM itself confirmed that.... the modified E6760 present in Wii U (this part I'm gessing) runs with lower clock to reach a low TDP.

Did you just confuse the CPU with the GPU?

Nope.

CPU is a POWER based but not Watson (confirmed).

The rumors says to use a modified version of AMD GPU E6760 if that the case I think the E6760 is clocked down to reach the TDP of 25W (the GPU @ 600Mhz have 35W TDP). I have my suspects the GPU is not a E6760 but a RV730 with eDRAM because the die-size (~280mm^2, expeculation based in pixel count of course).

That the best bet I can do with there informations...

CPU

3 cores
256 KB of L2 per core
2 MB of eDRAM L3
4 wide SIMD
less than 2.0 Ghz
IBM 45nm process

GPU

RV730 (or  E6760)
32MB of eDRAM
500-600Mhz (400-500Mhz for E6760)
TSMC 55nm

That's all I can supose now with the low info found in the internet.

Edit - It's will be nice to do a prediction thread lol

Edit 2 - @curl-6 is right power efficience is about electric energy consumption and not power itself... the Wii U CPU consume 20% less energy than the Wii CPU.
