Erm, but we know exactly what is in the WiiU so why are you claiming we don't? It has already been stripped and tested and came out rather poor.

o_O; we don't, and we still don't, there are a lot of speculations, like I mentioned earlier, nobody is thinking it will run xbox one or ps4 levels, but we don't have enough data to know how much worse. How the parts interact with each other is unknown, and the GPU is nowhere near diciphered.

Yes, we do knoq what is in it as that is not exactly hard to do. You buy one, strip it, then run the correct software on it. Job done. It's a 40nm gpu, which says enough, but when combined with benchmarks and power input, this gives you a perfectly good figure to work with.

Only that thing is still making people scratch their heads on GAF and Beyond3D because it's so customized that nobody's knows WTF is really going on as some devs are claiming that it has almost unlimited bandwidth for their needs on the device or that it's really efficient and the watt/performance ratio is stupid good without even really pushing the system yet. I myself am very puzzled by it because I did look at the Anandtech tear down and the real time teardown on twitch. If you look at the GPU die, the first reaction from me was literally "WTF?" because I've looked at plenty of AMD dies before, and the shit in the Wii U GPU is like ??? other than the obvious eDRAM areas and possible shader areas.
