Anandtech also does a little benchmarking and finds out that the WII U's processor doesn't obliterate the tablet processors. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6465/nintendo-wii-u-teardown

And by obliterate I mean being able to get like 2 to 3 times more performance than the motorola droid. 

You realize that digital foundry's article has some evidence.

That benchmark is a test of browser speed, not processor speed.

And yes, Digital Foundry has some evidence, but they don't have the whole picture, which they admit in the article.

I'm pretty sure it test the processor speed and not the internet speed and that benchmark was used for processing miscellaneous things on a cpu and what's more is that by looking at the tables it's slower than the phone processors. I just noticed lower is better.

The article blames the lower benchmark performance on the browser using an older version of Webkit, saying it's likely a browser software issue, hence not a processing power issue. It's not surprising that a console browser would underperform compared to tablets, where web browsing is more of a priority.
