Were there any rumors about the WiiU coming with a harddrive? I remember the rumor about it having 8 GB internal storage, but no other storage-related rumors.

Never mind then.

I'm sure the Wii U runs Power7 instead of Power6, and I have a source if you want to see it.

Any sources are always welcomed. I prefer to be wrong and get it right, so bring it on!!!

It says the Wii U has the same chips as the Watson supercomputer, which uses Power7.



WiiU is Power7, not 6.

Fake edit: beaten.

PS: Is not also a tri-core?



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

You know, I do remember that.... complete forgot it when I made the thread. Thanks for reminding me.

Nope. That's one of the parts I am using common sense. MS will definitely continue to push for media features and bluray is the logical choice.

It seems like the nextbox will be a little more powerful than the WiiU. What does the 32nm stand for


It's the size of the die that the CPU is on.

No, not at all. It basically tells you how densely you can pack transistors onto a die. Simplified, into a cell approximately the size 2*(32nm)^2, you can pack one transistor. In theory, you can pack twice as many transistors into the same area with 32nm as with 45nm, so you get twice as many dies out of your waver (and the whole things can run faster as the distances are shorter).  In reality, you can't really double, because the smaller the stuff gets, the more problems you run into, requiring redesigns and "emergency measures" to get the thing runnign at all.



I thought the Wii-U was rumored to have flash and be compatible with external drives, not an internal one of it's own.
Also, didn't the rumor regarding the next-box say it had a single pool of 2gb DDR3 ram? Not to mention Bluray??
