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.

stong evidence suggests it's 12.8GB you are the only persion that has questioned this so far. here the better answer for you, nintendo main focuse was creating a small efficante console, with current gen graphics, that had came out in 2012, impressive but not impossible, i don't understanf the point of this question though?
