That's wrong, it uses an ARM tri-core CPU. Most games now don't even use the third-core of the Wii U. It will likely be the next generation ARM processor, and likely will be triple or double what the Wii U currently has in power. Also, Wii mode supports the tri-core processor as it's a custom OS.
This would ensure backwards compatibility to Wii U and Wii, possible 4K/2K support. Would likely have 8gb of RAM, a slightly better GPU than what's in the PS4 and One. In 5 years all this stuff would help Nintendo again create a 300 dollar machine because the basic rule of technology... Everything get's cheaper over time.

That doesn't help at all with porting to and from those systems and their successors, though. All that sounds well and good, but no one is questioning portability between the Wii U and it's successors. The question is if it can do both - Port to the XBO/PS4/successors as well as remain BC with the Wii U while remaining $300 or less.

Architecture isn't a problem now, devs complained about power. In 5 years a lot of the technology in the PS4 and One will be outpaced by phones.
