here is a confirmation of the memory bandwidth, it's not speculation at all http://www.anandtech.com/show/6465/nintendo-wii-u-teardown my explanation is simple, wii u is based of newer, more efficante technoloy in watt usage.

Let me quote from your link, emphasis mine:

"Memory is shared between the CPU and GPU, and if I'm decoding the DRAM part numbers correctly it looks like these are 16-bit devices giving the Wii U a total of 12.8GB/s of peak memory bandwidth."

EDIT: And regarding watt usage, you haven't answered the question. How is it able to achieve that efficiency? Saying "oh, it's based on newer technology", but that doesn't answer the question.
