As weak as it is (not that the PS4 isn't weak as well), no, not even close. The One is still over 4 times the power of the Wii U by its weakest measure.
The Wii U is more in line with the 360 and PS3 than it is the One and the PS4 as pathetic as that is. In fact, by some measures like ram bandwidth and CPU before GPU assistance, the Wii U is actually WEAKER than those machines approaching 8 and 9 years old.

No way. The WiiU's GPU is superior to that of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
The CPU is also superior being an Out-of-Order design.
You're looking at probably 2x the maximum performance of the PS3.
However it's not in the same league as the Next-gen twins.
There is a massive performance disparity between the 7th gen and 8th gen, thanks to the continiously advancing PC technology found in all systems. (And because that generation dragged for so damn long the difference is more pronounced.)

The GPU is superior, but the CPU is inferior. OoO doesn't make up for the lower clock rate and fewer cores than PS3. It may be close, but lower.
OoO just makes it easier to get the most out of the cores, but PS3 & XB360 developers already have had 8 years to optimize their code so they are getting the most.

The killer in the Wii U's heel is the lack of SIMD's.

Actually I'd argue the killer is more than the small SIMD engines. The killer is practically everything about it.
Due to having a tiny SIMD engine that will also result in the WII U's espresso having poor IPC. The integer performance is even poorer as well seeing as how the ALUs aren't extended by any SIMD instruction sets which means that it will be limited to only 3 32 bit integer operation per cycle. This makes the WII U a poor overall single threaded performer and an even more offensive one considering it's low clock speeds.
The OoO execution model isn't a saving grace for the WII U seeing as every other parts of ibm espresso are beyond terrible. Everything else about the ibm xenon and cell just runs over horrid espresso.
Nintendo will hopefully learn a lessson not to use 10+ year old CPU designs ...

I swear its like people believe these consoles are powered my magical fairy dust, the Xbox1 could do everything the ps4 does, but at 720p, maybe 900p if the game is not pushing the hardware, while the wiiu still struggles after a 1 year to run 360/ps3 games, the specs are confirmed the xb1 gpu is 6x more powerful then WIIU gpu, the PS4 is like 8-9x. The xb1 has some real bottle knecks though, it's just poorly designed hardware.
