basically what beyond3d was saying the whole time it's on par with current gen, while the system has it's it advantages it has it's disadvantages as well.

Wii U!

3 x OOE CPU at 1.2 ghz
~353 Gflops GPU
2GB DDR3 @ 12.8 GB/s 1GB reserved for the os.
32MB eDRAM )

360

3 x OOE CPU at 3.2 ghz
240 Gflops GPU
512mb DDR3 RAM @ 22.4GB/
32MB EDRAM

Xbox 360 has 10mb of eDRAM, not 32. Also, Nintendo consoles are never designed with standard hardware components, meaning you can't strictly compare the two with raw numbers. Not saying this means Wii U is secretly a beast, it most likely isn't, but there will be other factors that give Wii U its strength similar to how GCN compared with Xbox.


Thanks for the correction. i have to say, if nintendo wasn't trying to be so green they could have had a system probably 2x more powerful for the same price, i guess nintendo's plan was get current gen ports, for 2 years and first party support will get them through 2 more years. do we even know if it can even do current gen ports justice, the cpu seems to be the biggest bottle neck and then then memory bandwidth as well.
