And yes I know the SIMD are the same before you go crazy :P

Then you should know that the floating point performance will scale exactly like that. 15 glops it is and most likely is.

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. 

So marcan42 isn't a reliable source ? BTW AMD doesn't have any experience in Power architectures just so you know so them redesigning the espresso would be a disaster just like amd bulldozer. 

@Bold What could I be missing by the words of "yes, three Broadways and more cache."

He specifically said three broadways. Not "variant", not "based-on" or "similar", he flat out said "three broadways". 


Marcan42 is not reliable to the fullest, he does not have the proper tools to test the hardware, as dahuman said... No documentation.

You are wrong about AMD not having experience with Power, they have Jim Keller. >_>

Look... If you had a Bulldozer and Piledriver, would you know the difference by testing them? Not really without the proper tools and benchmarks... :P

Bulldozer is not as a f?*? up as Pentium 4, Pentium D let a lone Xenon and Cell...
