I'm convinced we're going to end up with 2GB of DDR3 by the time it launches with the eDRAM on the CPU and GPU taking care of any bottlenecking issues. That would be four chips unless I'm mistaken..? That would give the final dev kits 4GB of DDR3 with 8 chips.
And when it happens you can all say, "Bloody hell, the Snowdog was bang on the money!!!". :OP

Make a thread about it, no seriously, make a thread about it.
nooooooooooooooooooooo...

LOL. But yeah that would be 4-4Gbit DDR3 chips.
What guek said. That definitely does not need a thread.

lol, please don't.
I'm not into blatant troll baiting
This guy doesnt have a clue what he is talking about. RSX is based on the 7900 gt. No way in this world the wiiu has a 4850, thats a 110w card. The ps3 card at launch[rsx] was 80w card and look how large the ps3 launch system was. Then he puts in the hd4770 which is a 73W card... like this is the worst case...lol. Wow.
Just setting people up for disappointment.

No more "he/she said wiiu spec" threads please -_-
Uh, system hasnt been released yet. Wait 3-6 months until OT is up
Oh, I see what you meant. Didn't think I missed it, haha.
Excite.

Don't the mods have an oath of some sort not to share any info shared privately with them? Or am I crazy?
If true, if a mod verifies someone as an insider, I'd take their word for it more than any game journalist.

lol. Why is he comparing pc parts? Does he have any idea that everything will end up being customized?
Because you have to break down as simple as possible for people on these forums. Half of gaf loves to pretend it knows anything about technology while knowing as much as a 2 year old.
PC stats are obviously not very effective since everything that goes into consoles gets crazy customized. But you can at least generally get a baseline performance because 99% of the time improvements are made to make the gpus better not worse.
We don't have too many intruders though, except for

Not that I'm opposed to different opinions, but "Nintendo doesn't do x" can only be so constructive for so long.

I also like how we have two shifts in here: tech guys come in for a few hours and discuss, then the dreamers/philosophers among us pick up after that. ;P

Good job on the thread BY2K. I'd really rather see it come out of here than more randomly. Also, the more threads, the more time the Wii U spends on the front page.

Why would you believe anything posted on a gaming message board over an actual gaming industry news source?
Well if we wanna get that Technical there is only 1 game industry news site on the Internet that has consistently been accurate about Nintendo Hardware to the point people were ready to crucify them when they leaked Wii specs.
And its so far claiming specs quite different then the weaker than 360 derp derp sites
Way too techie for me. Translation please?

lol for the past few months sites have even been citing this very thread as news.
Why is some random developer more credible than developers that post here (like lherre). You're trying too hard to denounce this place.

I don't have a horse in this race. I just think that this is all speculation. I hope it ends up being decently powerful, but at the same time the current rumor mill is full of conflicting sources. So I don't think that anything said in should be viewed as fact, or viewed as a better source than any of the random sites that have been reporting nonsense.
Is there anything with it that is glaringly wrong? Or is the only faux-pas the fact he's using PC parts?

Revisiting real quick that Li Mu Bai post that StevieP quoted earlier, he left out one key section that I don't think I saw talked about (I skimmed through most of the posts after that).
Li Mu Bai said:

well that goes without saying, although I think there are credible people out there, I agree that it's pointless to paint any factual pictures on the overall scope, because really no one knows but nintendo at this point. Well nintendo and other huge developers who won't dare say a word.
bgassassin

I don't really think they are conflicting. They all seem to be pointing toward the same thing IMO.
-Pyromaniac-

I didn't see that, sounds great. And who else would they possibly listen to other than Epic and Crytek. So they should be OK engine wise assuming they did enough to appease them.

Don't disagree. It just bugs me because I see a lot of posts denouncing all of those articles that have been popping up lately, how it doesn't match up with what has been said in here, etc

At first? Does that mean they decided to scrap it all later? I doubt that.
Interesting...
Well a couple things - namely the fact that the rv770 is just a very common widespread rumor, not confirmed, and that the cpu is going to be ppc7 based, not an actual ppc7. With that in mind, there'a ton of leeway from one end of the spectrum to the other as to what the parts will end up being. It can't be stressed enough that these are custom parts, not generic PC parts, so more powerful and less powerful chips are both possible.

it says A first. As in the first time they've done such a thing. READING COMPREHENSION BRO.
A first. I read it as at first too.
I remember reading something like this a while back. Can't wait to see all this progression at E3.

There's a reason for the denouncing, as Li Mu Bai's quote via StevieP contains

So it does! Phew, had me worried for a bit.
And yes, that falls in line with what we heard from EA, Activision and Team Ninja.

awwwwwwww shit son it's still alive!
aw man, it still has all those "Worst Nintendo Experiences" stories up, too!
At the local Wal-Mart they had a Nintendo festival thing you would
play clips from games to win prizes but you would play in little
private booths so no one could see you playing. Me and my friends
were all there and the was a huge video screen that displayed all
the high scores. When I got in my booth it was super hot and I was
racking up points on Mario Bros. 3. Later when I was playing Cruisin USA
I got so hot that I threw up all over the Nintendo machine. When I got
out of my booth I had thrown up all over me and I looked up at the score
board and my score was 0!!! Not only that, I looked nasty and every one
was staring at me because my score was 0. I felt humiliated and embarrassed.
Ah, nothing warms my heart more then kids expressing their traumatic experiences with video games. It's relatable!
