So, I wonder, what PC GPU can it stand toe-to-toe with (for some perspective)?

I read that it is a heavily modified version of the Evergreen series.  Seeing how the specs are so close (from the die shots) to that line of GPU's it's the closest one (without the special sauce) to compare the GPU to.  The Wii U is even made in the same plant as the Evergreen!!!

for reference:

Note that Wii-U's gpu only has half the bandwidth though.

I didn't know Nintendo released the GPU's bandwith?
