Well one good thing about leaks, no matter how bullshit they are, they can usually get some people out of the woodwork who actually know something.

This is from the Gaf thread;

" LCGeek

I've stated before and since any specs were revealed this gen most would have shitty cpus this turned out to be true, so to be fair my own perspective is skewed.

amd 8350 stock >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NX>>>>> X1 >> PS4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii U. All 3 of big 3 manufacturers got this issue wrong, yet I know next gen 2 of them won't cause they tend to do a decent job. Nintendo isn't impressing anyone."

Compared to WiiU, if you liked mario kart or other games this new system should be a wet dream."

Apparently this guy is the one who leaked the details on Wii U CPU and Wii I think.

Basically he's saying the NX CPU is noticeably better than both PS4/XB1 CPUs, but he doesn't think it's enough as those CPUs weren't great to begin with and they could do a lot more than what they have in now, and that even with a CPU like that he thinks they may still charge $350-400.

No word on the GPU, but(my speculation here) Nintendo has gimped their CPUs and focused more on their GPUs, so hopefully it outpaces the PS4 and XB1, though don't be too surprised if it's on par, slightly behind or slightly ahead of those.
