AceBandage said:First thing I thought when the demo started. Looked exactly like a better version of UE3.
Most likely AMD (formally ATi) as Nintendo has loved them since Gamecube.TunaLover said:Still no news about what GPU will use Wü?
Quite beast CPU BTW
Kung Fu Grip said:So the console is more powerful than PS3 and 360. Nintendo should of showed demos that shows this. The bird demo was ok. But you could tell it was something beyond what the PS3 and 360 could do.
The R700 variant rumor seems pretty solid so far.TunaLover said:Still no news about what GPU will use Wü?

Chiggs said:Hmmm, I think they're probably not releasing the specs because they don't want to divulge everything to the competition.
They said new console a bunch of times, man.JWong said:Uuuuh thanks for confirming that they didn't announce it in the conference?
1-D_FTW said:Why? Because they don't suck down at the alter of Nintendo's dick? Guys making comments like yours are the same people who used to bitch at people who said DS/Wii would be a huge success. An inability to think for yourself and judge evidence that is new is the real problem. We've got too many Pachter's who are only capable of judging what happened the very last cycle and base all their opinions on that. Things change. Evaluate evidence and think for yourself. Sometimes you can "see the future" if it's obvious enough.
P.S. Watson was running 2880 cores. WiiU will be just as stupid as many of the comments here.
Log4Girlz said:So someone give me numbers. How much more powerful would this be than Wii's CPU? Do this for the lulz. And if you're really tech savy, take into account that Wii U should only have 3 cpu cores, not 4.

The new controller was just the focus of the presentation.
teiresias said:I hardly think it's headline worthy news to say a system coming out in 2012 will have a more powerful CPU then systems released in 2005 and 2006. To act like this is some sort of coup or ingenious move is pretty ridiculous.

When 2/3 of Neogaf is actling like fucking morons saying derp derp worse than 360 etc pointing out they are fucking morons and showing the fact its using the latest technology out there is only logicalteiresias said:I hardly think it's headline worthy news to say a system coming out in 2012 will have a more powerful CPU then systems released in 2005 and 2006.

Lonely1 said:That's GPU EDRam.
The 360 has 10MB in it's GPU. In it's CPU, it only has 1216KB. 16MB is huge for a CPU cache.

lol, it was just a joke. Nobody really thinks Watson is smarter than a gaffer (computer doesn't work like that anyway).1-D_FTW said:P.S. Watson was running 2880 cores. WiiU will be just as stupid as many of the comments here.
I think you're confused. The base Power7 has 4 cores w/ 4 threads, so 16 threads total. Not 16 cores. Think Intel's Hyperthreading.thefro said:The stock Power7 has 16 cpu cores (4 chips with 4 cores each).
The question is whether we're just getting a single module with 3 cores or 4 chips with 3 cores each, or 3 chips with 4 cores each.
Leagues ahead if true, even if it's clocked low. Wouldn't be surprised to see 1.8GHz or something.so to put this in perspective, how is this compared to the ps3 and 360?
The system dosen't come out for over a year. What you're asking for is something that has never before been done in this industry.snoopeasystreet said:But they didn't show it. If they had one third party come out and showed a game and explain how this version is better than the competitors, I think the announcement would have appealed more to the hardcore.
Have you read GAF lately?Neo C. said:Nobody really thinks Watson is smarter than a gaffer.
itxaka said:I see you edited, that makes sense. But now I looke more stupid that I am!
Ahhh that makes sense. What is it used for? Just more raw power? Or could it help the gpu with processing?
Pretty much. The games we will be playing on it are nowhere near ready to being revealed. I think Nintendo mostly just wanted to show off that they are getting that type of support, and to expect some major third party titles at launch. It's also why the games shown didn't look really any better than current gen games, since more than likely they were videos of the 360 or PS3 versions.scy said:But, really, what can you expect ~18 months prior to the console dropping?
scy said:They really should've had a better third-party reel showing off more titles that aren't going to be yesterday's news by the time the console releases. That would've easily been the easiest way to alleviate much of this, honestly. Showcasing off Metro, Arkham City, etc. is all fine to demo the power but it's hard to get worked up over playing "last year's game" as your big launch title.

This is confirming what many of us already knew. Didn't you read all those "as powerful at most posts"? What's the point of your post anyway?teiresias said:I hardly think it's headline worthy news to say a system coming out in 2012 will have a more powerful CPU then systems released in 2005 and 2006.

GPU wise they are sure to be lacking as far as latest technology just due to power/heat issues. Id love to see something like a 6970 in the Wii U but just not gonna happen. 4850-4870 range though will be nice though and still offer plenty of a boost.scitek said:It's not, is it? Well, at least if the GPU rumors pan out it isn't.
The fake devskit specsheet is fake.Lord Error said:I dunno, that devkit spec sheet didn't' really peg the CPU as something extraordinarily impressive. If anything, GPU seemed like a better deal.

Nintendo s whole problem is multiplatform titles are not going to be a huge step up on WiiU t quick glance. Devs might up resolution and things like that which will be great but its going to take WiiU exclusive or multiplatform where WiiU is lead to show its power.
hm, ok, lots of people in the N conference thread do sound like a stupid troll-bot, I give you that.Jive Turkey said:Have you read GAF lately?
That "devkit spec sheet"'s most certainly wrong. IBM says it's Watson, Watson's Power7 - not Power6. Huge difference.Lord Error said:I dunno, that devkit spec sheet didn't' really peg the CPU as something extraordinarily impressive. If anything, GPU seemed like a better deal.
Either way, the console is simply too small to be some kind of performance monster.

I hope they use the Radeon 5XXX series since the 4 series run a bit hot.herzogzwei1989 said:AMD RV770 (Radeon 4850-4870) would be an awesome GPU which to base the WiiU GPU on. It's much more powerful than either Xbox 360's Xenos or PlayStation3's RSX.
Of course Wii U will really shine with internally developed games, not 360/PS3 ports.
I think it will likely Get upgraded ports for the rest of this generation besides its Special exceptions. Nintendo is likely gunning for a situation where they have enough of an install base to be lead platform in the next gen battlescitek said:The question I have is that now that there will be a more powerful system on the market than the PS360, at least for a year or two, and it's capable of running UE3 and whatnot, will it become the lead platform for multiplatform titles for the remainder of this generation with the PS360 versions being scaled down? Or will it be ported from the PS360 and have exclusive stuff shoe-horned in?
