That thread was locked as it was a poor explanation of the info being presented and still worked at GAF.
Look at what the article actually has as facts and you'll notice that 1/2 of the GPU still has no defined purpose yet. There's still a lot missing.

Read the OP of that thread and you'll notice its not as bad as the DF article suggests. In fact many at GAF are quite pissed at DF for selling it so short and labeling it as such.
Facts are the GPU is probably around 320 to 450GFLOPs. It has amazing efficiency and a lot of memory. Its likely 2x raw flops than 360 and the NXbox is like 3x WiiUs flops.
It has the same or similar tech base and is simply not as powerful / fast as the rest of next gen.
For perspective.... Wii * 20 = X360 *2 = WiiU * 3 = NXbox *1.5 = PS4. (according to flops on GPU, of course there are many other factors)
"Next-Gen" has a variance similar to PS2/GC/XBox generation and in short only THE most demanding games would likely have a technical reason to skip WiiU but in reality Rol is likely right and it won't matter what as 3rd parties will go out of their way to skip them.

dude both DF and beyond3d have 352 gflops, thrakter suggested 450glops but was corrected by a beyond3d member, just except wiiu is on par with current gen, the specs and the ports prove that, if there was magic you would'nt have every sinlge port being inferior, except for one port which played into the wiiu stength, then you have 30 wats of power to work with, this conclusion of 300-350 glops was done a month ago at beyond3d, they already knew what the out come would be.
