You're probably right and that is basically what's listed in the OP when you take into account the 6xxx rumors. The 4xxx was just the original and later they came out with statements that the GPU had been enhanced or similar.

As for a closer point to one specific card...nothing yet. Just 550MHz, uses newer tech like some DX11-esque stuff, and a lot of eDRAM.

I'm sure we'll know something more specific by January... especially now that its released in every major territory.


So far Redwood based seems like most likely choice, if we look at die size (5550/5570) - but it might be possible they managed to squeeze Turks inside (6570). Of course, there's always crazy possibility that it's something like custom shrank RV730 to 40nm, but I'm not sure that would make any sense at all.

Yeah the RV7xxx series wouldn't fit the requirements of the Wii U (since it basically needed a GPU that handled multi-display with ease).  Since the most basic GPU AMD has that utilizes Eyefinity is the 55xx series it is possible that Nintendo went for that at minimum.  Most practical would be the lines of 67xx series, seeing that it is a modified 55xx series designed for Blu-ray, 1.4aHDMI,  etc.
