It'll be too weak to handle next gen, and I don't care for that. Not at all. da fuq nintendo??

Hm, well back to square one with guessing game I suppose:

a) Turks based (480:24:8 config) - 118mm^2@40nm

b) Redwood based (400:20:8 config) - 104mm^2@40nm

c) anyone any other idea (@40nm < 119mm^2)?

I think Turks and Redwood are the best choices for now.

hey chunk isn't it time to update the Wii U specs and remove the ARM multi-core processor for OS?

we have confirmation about the specs??

We had a teardown, which didn't show that there was an ARM processor dedicated to the OS on the Wii U.  -__- 

So we still don't know too much about it??

yep, not real benchmarks yet to define the CPU/GPU beyond the estimations we've always had.

Actually, if you followed some teardowns, they talk about an extra chip on the MCM.

"There are actually three components on this single package, made in at least two different microprocessor fabs. The multicore PowerPC based CPU is the smaller of the two larger chips. This die is made on IBM's 45nm SOI process. The RV7xx derived GPU is the biggest die on the package, and I'm presuming it was made on a 40nm process. I'm assuming the very tiny die in the corner is actually some off-chip memory."

Now the question is, what does that tiny die do?

lol if Microsoft uses Blu Ray after trying to help kill it tag teaming with HDVD, they need to make Sony a sandwich before they can join the club. >:)-
