" Wii U's RAM is about half as fast as the PS3's": says who? not the developers praising the wii u ram. not the games that run better on wii u than on ps360.

if you're talking about those numbers of 22mb/s for ps3 vs 12.8mb/s for wii u. I might be wrong here, but I think that's the maximun performance for the ps3 (the game code is optimized the most) against the raw speed of the memory wii u uses. it desn't take into consideration how the wii u works as a whole. if we were to check the ps3 memory separetely from the console I think it would be far less than the wii u's raw 12.8mb/s.

PS3 has two memory pools XDR 25 GB/s GDDR3 22 GB/s

The GPU can access both pools so it can peak @ 45GB/s the CPU has just access to one pool @ 25 GB/s, the split memory however costs performance.

The Wii U has  32 MB EDRAM with unknown speed, and one unified pool with 12GB/s Xbox 360 has 22GB GDDR3 and also 10 MB EDRAM.

EDRAM is supposed to help the System if the ram bandwith is too small. Overall I would say the effective ram bandwith on the Wii U is pretty similar to PS3/360.

 

You just contradicited yourself, first you give clear defined specs then backtrack with no reason using an unknown to make a judgement when actually the information you just provided points to the available bandwidth being half of the Xbox 360/PS3.

Which one is it?

No need for needless support, speak your mind ;)
