The big issue is the cpu, we know its a triple cpu identical to the original wii cpu but running at 1.25ghz. It's a basic 32bit risc processor from the last century and doesn't compete in performance with 360 or ps3 because those consoles while having slightly less performance by mhz run their cpu's at 3.2ghz not 1.25ghz and so its an easy win for them. 

this "basic risc procesor from last century" achive ~14,8 GFlops at 1,24 gHz, when 8 Core 1,6ghz jaguar from ps4 has ~ 30 Gflops.

I'm not sure where you got that 30 gflops figure from, its well over 100 gflops,  infact over 110 gflops on the slightly faster xbox one cpus.  The wii u figure in gflops is as awful as its integer performance. Lets not also forget the gflops performance of the ps4 gpu is 10x that of wii u gpu approx in addition to being close to 10x wii u in cpu gflops performance.  The ps3 for reference is about 20 gflops for its cell cpu overall.  I don't know what the 360 is. 

Again the 45nm process of the wii u cpu and the very low power consumption of the console means we know the console is technically of very low performance even if we don't know all the details anyway.  Look at the cooling on the console or lack of any serious cooling I mean.  The xbox one and ps4 use a 28nm fabrication process which requires far less power than 45nm and produce a huge amount of heat and require decent cooling because their performance level is so much higher.
