There is no magical or miracle... the GPU is weak... just accept that.

Do you have an alternate theory as to what that 30% of the chip is doing?

No? Then don't try to make out as though you know more than you do. And don't bother going "Hollywood", because at most, that would take up maybe 10% of the chip, and you'll probably find that part of the known 70% includes some of it already.

You understand anything about GPU arch? No. Then sshut up.

The Wii U's GPU is not that customized like some guys here says... the Wii U's GPU have a space for eDRAM, other for the GPU ifself, and another unknown. The unknown part is not GPU shaders, it's anyting else like some fixed function or even some part to Wii's BC... because the Wii U needs that for some purpose.

The Wii U's GPU part is knewn already and it have at maximum 320SPs... the other 30% part can free up or help the GPU/CPU with the workload but that part don't add raw power to the GPU... you guy thinks there are "special sauce", "magical" or "unicorn" below Wii U's GPU... but the really is another.

Wii U GPU is weak... about 50% better than PS360 GPU... just face it.

PS. I don't need to enter in the fact that some GPU's needs black space (or unused) due production design.

and that's the best case scenerio, many at beyond3d are doubting it, even has that at the moment, then you have a weaker cpu and 50% slower bandwidth, i don't see how anybody can find that interesting.
