Did you look at the pics in the article it confirms the wiiu gpu to be 45nm process node

Even if the GPU is manufactured at 45nm process node it stll doesn't make a huge difference as their would only be a 10% chip area scaling difference at most. 

160 shader units seems a little more reasonable since we now know it's on a larger process than the 40nm TSMC parts we were using to compare. I'm sure some can still argue otherwise, but I've personally seen enough to convince me that those numbers are accurate.
