Another interested value to add would be the cache size of the CPU. For some reason this seems to pop up when techies go head to head. Wii U has (allegedly) 3MB in total, 1MB per core. Xbone and PS4 have 4MB each total, 512KB per core. Or less than 683KB per core if only using 6 cores. |
Just to clarify, the Wii U's 3 core CPU has asymmetric cache. One core has 2MB cache, the other two cores have 512KB each. As for the XBox1/PS4, the cache per core doesn't change based on how many are used, so it's assumed that they are in symmetric distribution of cache, giving 512KB per core, regardless of games only having access to 6 cores.
