Nope.

But it will likely be fairly easy to port Wii U games to it, I imagine it will be a mobile chip that "absorbs" many aspects of the Wii U architecture.

So they'll be able to bring underperforming Wii U titles like say DKC: Tropical Freeze to it without much fuss.

It may be able to emulate the 3DS flat out just on raw horsepower + likelyhood of an ARM CPU.

IBM and the Renesas embedded RAM though ... that needs to go. Those are likely killing Nintendo on cost, because they're fairly exotic products (not heavily mass produced). Sony even own Renesas now, lol, so while they're unlikely to be dicks to Nintendo about supplying the RAM, they're likely not going to give Nintendo any special price breaks either, which isn't a good situation to be in. 

The sooner Nintendo can be free of the shackles of the Wii U chip, the better for them.
