If the Wii U had an 8-core PowerPC CPU and 8GB of RAM along with the 32MB of eDRAM it has it would absolutely rip the PS4 and XB1 to shreds.

 


Funny how you don't talk about the GPU at all.

 

Serious question: Is this a joke thread?

 

"He" doesn't do anything or didn't do to be more clear as he just copied this crap straight from the internet without hinting us at the source.

So if the Wii U wasn't a Wii U it wouldn't be a Wii U... interesting.

I don't think anyone would put so much "effort" into a joke thread!


Sometimes you just can't be arsed to copy&paste.

The Wii U has 3 CPUs. A custom tri-core PowerPC750 built to run like a Power7 code named ‘Expresso.’ It also has a dual-core input/output ARM processor and a dedicated sound CPU. So altogether the Wii U has 6 available physical cores.


If this is serious I'll request a ban. We don't need such ignorant filth here.

I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

The Wii U's power is over 9,000!!!!!!!!!

...So much technical jargon I will never understand or care about. Will it play Mario Kart and Smash? Good.

Oh boy, there is so much wrong in that post that this thread deserves instant auto-lock.

The real power of the Wii U is a little more than the power of an Xbox 360 (maybe 30 - 40%).

It has 2gb of ram that is 4 times what the 360 has but 1gb is reserved for the OS so it's only 1gb ram for games. And the processor is a powerful version of the Wii's one (wich means X360's processor is much more powerful because Wii's processor was crap and so is the Wii U's one).

And the GPU is just a little more powerful than X360's one.

Sry for my english xd


Do you have any facts for your statements? I don't see any, only repition of the general opinion on gaming forums. Looking at Mario Kart I can tell you that neither PS3 nor x360 would be able to run this game at 60fps, I doubt they could in 30. This game really showed to me the potential of WiiU if it used correctly.

It is only a car racing game with cartoonish style. PS3 can move The last of us at 720p 30fps. and it looks awesome from general graphics to  Joel/Ellie animations. If ps3 had 30 - 40 % more power it would be able to run mario kart at 720p 60fps too don't even doubt it. 


Technically it is absolutey brilliant, no matter how you try to disagree. And you are agreeing with me, PS3 is not able to render the game this way, it would need more power -> WiiU is more powerful and 30% - 40% is not a little more, of course.

30-40% of a 6 year hardware in 2012 when Wii U was launched is a very very poor hardware to stand against ps4/Xbox One.

 By the way let me remind you how many times games have looked awesome on screenshots/trailers and then in the final version they weren't that good...
