Proof that the Wii-U is no better performance wise than current gen consoles is finally arriving.

Eat my shorts non believers.

It has a minimum of 480 shader cores VS. 48 on the 360.

It uses 2010 technology VS. 2004 technology on the 360.

It has a 2 GB RAM vs. 256 RAM in 360.

It has somewhere from 500 to a little over 1,000 GFLOPs.

It has 5.3 GHz Wireless VS. 2.4 GHz Wireless on the 360.

So may I ask you what the funky wackos are you talking about?

The Xenos in the X360 uses a completely different sharder architecture, AMD moved to using a lot more far less capable "stream proccesors" so that comparison is meaningless. Each Xenos shader can perform 10 floating-point ops per cycle where as R700 uses units consisting of 5 "stream proccesors" and each unit can execute 5 floating point ops + 1 other operation per cycle, for a total of 6 ops per cycle per 5 stream proccessors. http://www.elitebastards.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=584&Itemid=31&limitstart=2

Wii U has 2GB of RAM (1GB is reserved for the system tho) at 12.8GB/s plus 32+4MB of eDRAM vs X360's 512MB of 22.4GB/s + 10MB eDRAM.

The 2.4 GHz block technically has longer range than the 5GHz block so not really an advantage, and it's just used for streaming to the pad something the X360 doesn't do at all.
