I told you how they DID get it. They looked inside the box and guessed based off the die size and power consumption. Also the HD 4000 series ranges from as low as 96 gflops (hd 4350)  to 1.2 terraflops (HD 4870.) 

Ok but do you really think a HD4870 is in a Wii U. 0% chance of that happening. 350 gigflops is at the very least within the neighborhood of the Wii U. 

Indeed. No way does it have a 4870. The 4870 is stronger than a 4850 which was in turn stronger than my old 5670 (DX11 card). I can say without a doubt that the 5670HD outperforms the Wii U. Its a GPU that could run a game like Mario Kart 8 in 900p60 with AA . It could handle several DX9 ports at 1080p30. The Wii U probably has a A 5550HD equivalent (25GB/s bandwidth, 352GFlops in DDR3), 5570HD at best. Acording to toms "best graphics for the money" chart the 5550 performs similar to a 4670. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html. As for the 5670 here is its review, even though these are older games they would run this well on the system (several 1080p60s) http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5670,2533.html



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine
