Examples are, x86, ARM, MIPS etc. Both the 360 and Wii U use PowerPC architecture. There is no "exotic" architecture involved, like PS3's mixed-core solution. Now obviously, some people want to believe that there is immense untapped power in this system. The cold hard truth is that Nintendo's system is based on 40-45nm silicon and runs at 75 Watts during full blown game-play. 80 dollar video cards from the same process node run at 100-130 watts. If you understand the principles of semi-conductor size and power consumption, then you know what I'm talking about. There is barely any hardware inside that console. |
How does saying WiiU's architecture is different from 360's mean that someone thinks there is immense untapped power?
You don't even know what you're arguing about, do you? And your last sentence is just pure silliness. Waste of time.
