The way I've always heard it described is:

Wii processor is an overclocked GameCube processor, Wii U processor is a reconfigured Wii processor, therefore the Wii U processor is an overclocked, reconfigured GameCube.

Are we sure we're not talking about the wii? I've yet to see see single person compare the Wii U to the gamecube or the original wii.

Yup I've heard that. People saying the Wii U processor is just a reconfigured Wii processor, which was in turn simply an overclocked GameCube processor.
