I'd take Neogaf's info with a huge grain of salt frankly. Not saying it's not true, just that I'm reluctant to trust the word of an anonymous source.

Togegher with the news there are a rumor about a downgrad in specs before the release.

Shin'en Multimedia busted this rumour; someone actually asked them, and they said their devkits got stronger with time, not weaker.

Well we do have one developer here by the name of nylevia who confirmed that there were 200 to 150 shaders but he couldn't disclose the exact number because nintendo would have his ass in court. I'm willing to believe that it does have 160 shaders because it makes it really consistent with the gpus TDP.

How much do we know about this nylevia? What company does he dev for and what's his role there?

GPUs of current/last gen systems:

Xbox 360 > PS3 > Wii U

thats just horse shit !

The CPU is arguably weaker/ inferior to the PS360´s (though you can´t compare them 1:1 to each other because their strenght´s and weaknesses are very different). The GPU is unargably more powerful.

Nylevia was on vgchartz but he requested to be permabanned on his last thread. He couldn't disclose which company he works for but we do know that he is an engine programmer.

I don't personally know him, but he seemed legit. Didn't say anything that I disagreed with.

He was pretty level headed I'd say.

How do we "know" he's an engine programmer? Again, I'm not saying he's not, just conscious of how anonymous the internet can be.

He pretty much stated it in his last thread but if your looking for absolute definitive proof of it I don't I'll be able to deliver on that. You can take his word or leave it however I'm willing to believe on what he says because anandtechs breakdown of the wii u basically means it never takes above 35 watts for the TOTAL system.

R.I.P Ninjablade.

Was one of my favorite posters here, only cause he and Zero999 posts always stirs up a fuss and I enjoy watching people argue over video games.

That would put the Wii U roughly around the 180 Gflop mark.
Yet it would still be significantly faster than the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3's GPU despite the lower Gflop number.
