Since it's "modified", it's stupid to assume anything. Another site says it's a modified Radeon E6760 (the E6760 is rated at 576 GFLOPS), for instance - and that particular site is referencing AMD emails regarding the Wii U chip. |
The email was confirmed fake... the E6760 runs at 600Mhz... the Wii U GPU at 550Mhz... so even it was a E6760 there is no way it have 576GFLOPS like the E6760.
The size of the GPU says everything... in 40nm there is no way you can put a GPU over 500 GFLOPS in this space... so the Wii U have a raw power ~400GFLOPS.
