It's funny he says the only info AMD can release when official channels won't even release that. The rumour from July was rather tenuous with the company being brought in to work on the dev tools of the Wii U also saying that they will be supporting the E6760 in a seperate press release. But the press release that says they are supporting the E6760 said that it was "providing unprecedented levels of graphics performance in aerospace and defense systems, medical devices, and other embedded computing platforms requiring high reliability graphics services.” and "targeted for deployment in a next generation situational awareness avionics display system as part of a United States Department of Defense procurement." saying that it points towards the Wii U GPU is rather a streatch.

So is it or not? C'mon I have to know. LOL ;p

The E6760 fits in nicely with the cost and low power requirements of the wii u and is the type of GPU nintendo would go for IMO.

That is what makes all this so believable.

I do believe the emails to be fake but that doesn't mean wii u won't have the e6760 or similar.

Reports of the GPU being embedded or an AMD e6XXX chip has been circulating since the wii u was announced - along with a lot more varied speculation about the GPU I admit.

can anyone tell me the Wii U gamepad specs?

it has a 858x480 screen and gyros/accellerometers, infrared and NFC and stuff, but we don't know what kind of main chip(s) it has (and it has to have one as afaik it works while the console is in stand by or off)

So I assume you can't use it while on the road out and about?

maybe there are some very basic functions you could do with it on the road (clock; maybe some mini games like tetris or sudoku or sth like that which the gamepad can render by itself; notepad; camera ... only 1.3mp though; possibly mp3 playback, if it has built-in memory you can access), but it's not a fully equiped tablet pc, so there is no internet or phone access without the console and the Wii U games are streamed onto it via bluetooth from the console itself, so once you are out of reach you can't play them

additionally to it's influences on gameplay mechanics it's meant to be a hub for your living room, as you can use it as a remote control for your tv (and maybe for other devices aswell, don't know that much) via the infrared sensor

No matter what GPU is in the wii U, its safe to say we all know there are low TDP, powerful cards on the market, whether based on embedded or mobile. No Nintendo fan should fear the Wii u being "WEAK" (unless you compare to PC). Whatever is the final GPU, will be a healthy evolution from PS360, and games specially built for GPGPU features will display that in the next year.

No , you assume they are at stock speeds.

Now take a look at these;

All heavily overclocked, all 7800+

Now are you really gonna tell me a stock card can do those numbers? Who do you think you're dealing with here. I've overclocked several cards. Overclocking a card by around 20% generally produces around 20% more performance. Especially with benchmarks like 3DMark.

Your only argument here is that the numbers you gave are with stock speeds, correct? And that 3dmark always records the correct speeds, correct?
Explain these then will you?

Pretty impressive results with such an underclocked card. Must be heavily modified too seeing as they have 640 MB of memory....

And these are just a handfiul of the odd results that fill the result list. I spotted a few with 163 Mhz core speeds, a lot with 0 clock speeds and some more with 500 core and 700 memory speeds. But I guess those are actually the speeds used and that the 4850 is just so powerful that, even with such low clockspeeds, it still performs the same as a stock card... Right?

Next invalid argument please.

True, GPU scores stays roughly the same at stock speeds. About 5700-5800.

You really believe an embedded solution has no advantages compared to an expansion card? Oh dear.

And who said anything about the e6760's memory bandwidth...

Awesome if true. I'm sure haters will keep on hating.
