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

What if the thermal system was always intended to run at this high clock-speeds and just runs underpowered currently? :)

And Espresso is only based on ppc750 with many architectural changes. Xenon and the PPU were also clocked above 3 GHz - hell, IBM builds processors with 5 GHz! So this is not completely impossible.

But the bump itself is highly doubtable, yes.

I don't think so... they used a small and cheaper cooling system.

And there are relates in hot countries like here (I live in Brazil) that the Wii U get a lot hot that needs a new external cooling to help like that below:

The 360/PS3 CPU is not Power 750 based... so the clock is different... there are different Power Arch in IBM.

Yes, the cooling system part ended with a ":)" intentionally, ethomaz. :)

And I know that IBM has different ppc-architectures. This doesn't mean anything. The Pentium M, the predecessor, was built upon the pentium3. The P3 didn't clock above 3GHz, the Intel-Core-Processors did... Things get smaller so does the clock-rate increase, as well as crucial improvements on the oipeline can also increase the clock-rate.
