Wii U hacked and CPU clock speed revealed, apparently.

Ah, the Megahertz Myth. I remember this old fallacy from back in the 90s, and I can't believe people STILL think clock speed = power.

Each Wii U core takes up no more than 1/3 of the area of a 360 core. It is therefore not faster per-clock, unless a miracle happened at IBM. Performance = clock speed * performance per clock (approximately, yes it's a tautology).

To use an example from the 90s, would you rather have a 600MHz Pentium III or a 1.6GHz Pentium 4? The Pentium III was faster per-clock, but the difference is so big that you'd obviously get the P4.

and then we come back to why Core i CPUs are a blessing, ah~~~ so good.....

Positive emotions and Intel do not go together.

not on a price level no, but it feels good to see the faster CPUs rape though everything.
