The argument that the wii u is powerful is a completely failed argument and has no facts that support it on any level.
The reality is;
1. The x-ray shots show a basic chipset on a smallish die size
2. It's using a low cost power hungry 40/45nm fabrication process
3. It takes very little power
4. It's games perform technically to a very low level mainly below 360 and PS3
5. Fanboys are forced into a situation where they make up random technical points and show graphics from non wii u hardware as a demonstration of wii u power in desperation
6. We know the wii u cpu is cpu architecture from the last century hence wii compatbility
7. Nintendo have a philosophy of using outdated cheap hardware ( Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology)
8. It's ram chips are easily seen by examining the circuit board and they are very low performance (12.8GB/s)
9. Not a single game has demonstrated the wii u is powerful
10. A large number of developers have openly criticised the weak hardware and low performance of the console.
