THQ clarifies Wii U "horrible, slow" CPU claims, but concern remains

Check shokio's OP out folks ...

He has some good points in regard of the GPGPU inside the wii u ..

I think that the ii u is much more powerful than we all think it is .. Devs need to use the GPGPU and the eDRAM...

 

Here's the vid:

So just first-party games will show the Wii U... even so it is weak for the nextgen.

no, you apparently don't understand nothing at all...

I understand the guy in the video knows nothing about GPGPU .

Anyway the Wii U is weak for the next gen... that's the truth... and just some developers (eg. first-party) will show some progress with it but nothing near to what we expect to come in the next gen.

Today to developer in Wii U you have to challenge bottlenecks...

1) Slow memory = use the eDRAM instead
2) Slow CPU = use the GPGPU instead

Do you know how difficult is to change the use of the main memory to use more the eDRAM and show better results??? Or do you know how harder is to use GPGPU and less than 30% of what CPU does is possible on GPGPU???

Sorry but I can't see the miracle eDRAM / GPGPU happening.
