Well, the GPU is supposedly fairly good, and there's eDRAM.
are you joking?

Because soccer moms don't care about graphics and hardware performanceUgh why is it sooo underpowered?
ITT: people that don't understand clock speed isn't as an important factor in modern cpu/gpu architecture
Our tech lords mentioned that Hz for Hz, the Broadway is way starker than Xenon. But as much as three times?So disregarding clock speed for a second, how do these PPC cores relate to those in the Xbox 360 CPU? Without knowing that, these clock speeds don't tell us much no?
So, not exactly vanilla Broadways if he is to be believed.Very heavily modified. 750CL is inherently unsuited for SMP.

And... iirc, isn't WiiU development GPU centric?
GAF experts LOL
Gotta love them.
It's not likely given Anand's numbers, but it's possible the CPU runs at a lower clock speed while not playing games and marcan measured under such conditions.
If you want to go beyond clockspeed...then, how well did Broadway compare to a Xenon core?

I remember when Yamauchi and Miyamoto spoke at length against load times. Jesus Christ.
Has there been a single positive hardware leak so far? Honest question, so far everything seems to disappoint even modest expectations.
I still don't understand why the Wii U is being sold at a loss. Everything sounds like it's dirt cheap to produce. Even the GamePad is hardly a marvelous piece of high end hardware...
My MacBook Air uses a 1.4GHz dual core CPU and the CPU is usually not the bottleneck when it comes to games. Clock frequencies are quite meaningless.
IPC should be a lot better. Xenon IPC is supposedly really terrible. 2 on paper, 0.5 or something on average in real world situations.So disregarding clock speed for a second, how do these PPC cores relate to those in the Xbox 360 CPU? Without knowing that, these clock speeds don't tell us much no?
Seems like this console was made for japan market in mind.
Games playable without TV and japanese people mostly don't care about graphics.
I´m more and more confused about what this console is suposed to be.
Can you explain what you mean by this? Are you asking is devs can use the GPU to make up for the weak GPU?
No. Those are pretty much the only positives I can think of for the Wii U HW :|
I feel like 1.2ghz has come up a lot in the speculation for the Wii U CPU clockspeed over the last months so I'm hardly surprised.
Really Nintendo has indicated several times the goal of Wii U hardware is to bring them up alongside the current competition (ie. tick that box) and whilst launch games have (sometimes major) problems, it seems like a stretch to think that they wont be able to squeeze enough performance out of the CPU to bring ports up to par with the PS3/360 sooner than later. And really thats all thats been targeted.
And if you thought Wii U could compete with the next offerings of Sony/MS, you were probably not thinking realistically. Its never really been in the offing as much as Nintendo fans have crossed their fingers wishing otherwise.
We have any clock speed numbers aside marcan ones?It's not likely given Anand's numbers, but it's possible the CPU runs at a lower clock speed while not playing games and marcan measured under such conditions.

Are you fucking kidding me ? 1,25 GHz ?
I change my statement.
Devs were not lazy with ports on WiiU they were fucking wizards to achieve that on WiiU.
I was hoping Espresso was basically a tri core Broadway, this is going to make emulation easier.
Has any WiiU game been dumped yet?
something similar was going on wih the 3DS since it doesn't add up how they barely get to profit numbers at the current price.
Explains why they're taking a loss on each sold system, though.
CPUs with these kinds of clock speeds must be super rare to find in 2012.

This. I'm sorry but that's disgraceful, this has killed any interest I've had in the WiiU now to be honest.
