According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Comparison_table:_Console_GPUs, Wikipedia says 352.
But then the 5550 with the same "specs" draws a max of 39W, with is above what the total TDP (33w) of Wii-U is.

On Gaf I've read the figure of 176 gflops. Is that confirmed?

 

[GhostTrick]

176gflops confirmed.

[BennyBlanco]

it only flopped once afaik

 

[Rezae]

It's 3 shines and an acorn.


edit: ^^^ damn

 

[Off-Kilter]

4 Gamecubes worth

 

[Guess Who]

It's somewhere between the GPU horsepower of a Voodoo2 and a Titan X.

 

[Jigolo]

5 gamescubes taped together

bravo

Lock it up, kids.

WOW
REKT

Can a mod up this post at #1 please thanks.

 

[NoKisum]

What the hell is a gigaflop?!

yooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[dragonzdogma]

Wii U gpu 176 gflops or 352 gigaflops, I really don't care we need more beautiful/creative games like splatoon!

 

[Hoo-doo]

Hey guys, remember that one developer who said that the Wii-U was going to be super duper powerful, sending the Wii-U speculation thread into maximum overdrive?

Those were some good times.

 

[dreamlongdead]

Laughing hard at this!

Oh, allow it.

 

[Astral Dog]

A Wii U tech thread?
We needed one more of these, i missed them

 

[Sapiens]

We need another five threads worth of wishful thinking speculation based on x rays scans of the processors.

LOL, damn!

Ahhhahahaha.

 

[DownGrader]

Well, there sure was some giga flop with Wii U...

it only flopped once afaik

Damn

 

[xenorevlis]

This thread is magic. Crossing fingers NX is worth a damn!

 

[Pinky]

This thread is going places...

How accurate it is, I cannot say, but according to techPowerUp it is 352 Gigaflops.

 

[Astral Dog]

Awesome

Well, there sure was some giga flop with Wii U...

Boooo!!

You should care, because you could have all these beautiful/creative game without jaggies that could cut your eyes.

 

[Zombegoast]

Enough flops to run Fast Racing Neo.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Lol, I've come close to editing wikipedia once or twice, but had technical issues with my PC at the time. It's a 160:8:8 core config if anyone feels up to it. EDRAM bandwidth is something like ~30 GB/s.

 

[kabel]

It doesn't matter, 176 gflops or 352 gflops.
It's both pretty low.

Even smartphones are way more powerful. (Snapdragon 820 -> 588 gflops)

Huh? How did you get that eDRAM BW?

Is that true? Holy balls.

 

[ineji]

probably a double vs single precision thing going on

 

[Astral Dog]

I think he means its not that important, as long as the games still make good use of the tech available on creative ways.

 

[Fourth Storm]

Iirc, it was leaked on Beyond3d and also the other leak which bgassassin shared.

This is interesting. Where did you find this information?

They're also way more expensive than a WII U...

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Not really, they just have huge markups. Most flagships sit around the $220 mark to manufacture.

Smartphones are bandwidth starved and throttle their speed due their limited power envelope. So flops =/= flops.

That SoC costs like 40-50$.

Smartphones are bandwidth starved and throttle their speed due their limited power envelope. So flops =/= flops.

LPDDR4 has the same BW(dualchannel: 2x17Gb/s) than that 30Gb/s of the WiiU. Also they only overheat because smartphones are just a few millimetres thick, in a console case there would be no problems.

 

[Azelover]

4 Gamecubes worth

The guy who made this originally innocent joke on GDC many years ago is in hell right now because of you folks.

 

[Touchdown]

but wait, why does Nintendo still have y'all pressed?

 

[tkscz]

Not really, they just have huge markups. Most flagships sit around the $220 mark to manufacture.

Architecture usually plays a larger roll than pure numbers. FLOPS are like the new BITS honestly. Just because something has more, doesn't mean it's better (not saying it isn't better for having more, but I think you get what I'm saying).
