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

While its possible to up the clock speeds through updates... that big of a CPU jump screams that its false. There's no way Nintendo would have purposefully underclocked it so much just to do this later. They don't even publish these types of tech info anymore and therefore would gain nothing from doing such a design. Plus if at 1.x they were hitting 32w of peak of 45w... then a 3.x would surely push beyond what it could do.

I'd wait for better sources.

While I agree that Nintendo could not increase the clock rate by anywhere near that much, the 32w usage is for the whole system, not just the processor.  In theory, if the processor is that efficient, you could nearly double the speed with the extra power left over.  As I've said in another post though, it wold not be like Nintendo at all to do this.

Considering the GPU then CPU are the biggest factors on its power draw... I'd think such a jump in CPU and then a smaller one in GPU would be too much as they don't want to be running at peak power... even if it only pushed to say 38w overall or 40w... that seems too high for normal usage.
