HD 3850 = 320:16:16 (more 8 ROPs than Wii U GPU).

 i'm only followong the sp count, is this bad news for wiii u? 

Very bad. HD3850 has 53 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Chop off half the ROPs and drop memory bandwidth to 12.8GB/sec, the GPU is worthless for next generation games. 

 looking at the memory bandwidth and cpu, i don't know why people expected something great from the gpu, when the whole system is designed to cheap and effeciante, some of the choices nintendo made are laughable, we rather be green then give decent tech.
