Wii U CPU + GPU clock speeds increased? Is it even possible?

The rumored new speed for the CPU is unbelievable. Really. No one can believe that they almost tripled its speed with no serious consequences.

But a more modest increase could be possible. Heck, Nintendo said that the WiiU was designed to use about 45W when playing yet when it was launched and the media tryed it, they recorded a consumption of "only" 35W.

As farfetched as this seems, did anybody also ever wonder why it was ever so low in the first place?

I certainly wondered that.  It's part of what lends some credence to the rumor.  I don't think major "overclocking" is likely or possible, but the system may have been significantly underclocked at launch.
