Hyrule Warriors shows the Wii U's CPU isn't THAT weak

I can't really think of a better benchmark to date though; the only other games on Wii U that have much going on CPU-wise are ports from systems with fundamentally different CPUs.

I can agree with you on that at least. I just don't think HW is demonstrating anything that we wouldn't expect from its CPU.

It could be used as proof that the WiiU's CPU isn't literally 3 Wii CPU's though, assuming there are people that honestly believe that. HW running on 3x1.24GHz makes sense, but it certainly wouldn't run on 3x700Mhz with a much smaller cache.

That's pretty much was I was getting at, yeah. That some of the more exaggerated views of its "weakness" don't tally with what we see in Hyrule Warriors. (Though as with you, it's about what I'd expect from it)
