The 7XXX GPU mentioned is actualy "7XXXD" and is in reality 6XXX tech and not equal to the stand-alone 7XXX cards you'd put in your PC. 2) its not GDDR5, further more that is nearly not as important as the CPU/GPU which is covered above. We're looking at something ~2-3x the power of WiiU which in turn is ~2x the power of PS360. These are not new rumors, merely twists to current and adding in some terms like GDDR5 that are actually not correct. |
We all know how much your hoping Wii U is compareable to next gen consoles from a tech point but its not going to happen. The Wii U is a fine console but its going to be underpowered you need to just accept that.
It shouldnt stop the Wii U from getting good ports though as its using mostly modern architecture and isnt completly "last gen" hardware like Wii was. I really see zero evidence though that Wii U will be compareable in terms of hardware to 720/PS4 though
