The consistent details about the Wii U GPU have it with 480 stream processors, using AMD's Turks core, being manufactured using a 40nm process, and using about 20 to 25 Watts ... The retail GPUs AMD makes that are similar to this are the Radeon 7670M, Radeon HD 7690M, and Radeon HD 7690M XT which have performance of 575 to 700 GFLOPs

If there is a 7670M GPU inside Wii U the raw power will not be 576 GFLOPS because the Wii U runs at 550Mhz and not 600Mhz... just that put the raw power near 528 GLOFS using this same GPU.

But there are other thing to look for...

The Wii U GPU have 156mm^2 with eDRAM... if you remove the eDRAM you have a dize size ~104mm^2... the 7670M "Thames" die size is 118mm^2. The best GPU that fits with the 104mm ^2 is the HD 5670 "Redwood" that have 400 shaders units... 400 SPs running at 55Mhz give us 440 GFLOPS raw power.

I don't know how many units have the Wii U GPU but you can't put more units using the same 40nm process... so the Wii U GPU will have between 400 and 500 GFLOPS... not more than that.
