Added the rumored 2nd CPU for Wii U that is ARM based and solely for the OS.

Interesting that Wii U's OS has its own exclusive CPU and memory. It better do some crazy ish with all that exclusive resources.

Edited for clarity.

What does this mean if true? I'm no tech-head, so I have no clue :P I'm guessing it'll leave more memory for the WiiU to use?

It think it means that the PowerPC-CPU can be fully used for games, because the OS runs on its own CPU in background and don't "steal" any processor power.

Because it is mentioned as IO-Chip I am curios if that means that even the Datastream between Wii U & Gamepad runs on the second CPU, so the PowerPC is really only for the games. Would be great.

Does that mean it'll be able to "add more things" in the game? More enemies on screen and stuff like that?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
