I'm sorry I just can't agree that its 380 to 550 because even an HD4670 in a notebook can play low level games at 1080p and 60 fps. The Wii U does not. 

Super Smash Bros U runs at 1080p 60fps, and I'd say it is would qualify as your "low level" game. 

An HD 4670 can't even run Skyrim at 720p 60fps.

Smash is very fun and a good game but it's not a demanding game at all. MK8 and Super SMash are very simple games and don't take much to run them at 60 fps at all. Skyrim aslo isn't a low level game even at low settings and 720p it's still demanding especially for an athlon apu. Bayonetta 2 was suppose to be 1080p and 60 fps. What we got was a 720p game with an unlocked framerate and that game isn't demanding at all either. If the Wii U was 550 gigflops it could run its games at 1080p with 60fps. 550 gigaflops is more than enough to process 5 CUs in HD. But I highly doubt games like smash and MK8 even take up the Wii Us theorectical power. Wind Waker HD is most likely the limit for playing games in HD.
