yes and no, the WiiU's chip is a SOC with all cpu,gpu and edram memory bandwidth all on the same die.

No. the CPU is not on the same chip carrier as the GPU/eDram (as per Nintendo image of the mainboard posted 1-2 weeks ago).


UMM yes it is ..IT IS INDEED A MCM

HERE YA GO

This time we fully embraced the idea of using an MCM for our gaming console. An MCM is where the aforementioned Multi-core CPU chip and the GPU chip10 are built into a single component. The GPU itself also contains quite a large on-chip memory. Due to this MCM, the package costs less and we could speed up data exchange among two LSIs while lowering power consumption. And also the international division of labor in general, would be cost-effective.
