The dude did the diagram based in the board pictures.

While I'm not saying the second CPU rumor is true, that diagram doesn't show the DSP or I/O processors and those are confirmed to exist.

The Wii had an ARM9 CPU (which handled I/O, security systems and low level firmware) and a DSP intergrated into the GPU package. the ARM CPU was embedded in the GPU and the DSP was embedded into the 1T-SRAM that they used for VRAM.

I would say it's likely that they did the same with the Wii U so that GPU package likely not only includes the GPU and a large chunck of eDRAM, but also an ARM bassed I/O controler and a DSP.
