I wonder if your going to doubt this hackers work. 

You know what this means, right ? 15 gflops is actaully really close to the estimate of the theoretical performance. 

I know his work quiet well since I'm also in the mod scene, but he's not the God of computing so he can't see all the SIMDs in there from voodoo magic without documentation, and until somebody writes legit benchmarking tools that can actually push the hardware, we won't have hard numbers, and that's what I want to see instead of all the guesswork that's been going on for about a year now.

He pretty much said that those cores are exactly the same from broadwell aside from clocks and cache so it's safe to assume that it has a 64 bit FPU much like the broadway. What's more is that the ibm espresso can't deviate too much from it's archiecture otherwise it won't do backwards compatibility. BTW IBM has better things to do than to improve on the crappy architecture of the gekko/PowerPC 7xx series cores such getting that new POWER8 processor out there. 

The problem with your claim is that you don't have a reliable source to back them up with. You don't know what IBM or AMD actually did for Nintendo because they will remove and add SIMD to their chips(same for X1 and PS4,) what the contract was, or the design process of the Wii U in it's RAW form, or the hard numbers. They are all conjecture. You are just "assuming," and Marcan never said they are exactly the same either, they have similar architecture which is a "no shit" since it's based on the same original design. Don't put words in his mouth lol.
