#103081 wii u video chat

Posted by Zonark on 29 August 2012 - 04:25 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm just afraid of the nudies



#103180 IBM Power 7 Confirmed

Posted by Zonark on 30 August 2012 - 05:43 AM in Wii U Hardware

Here's a good was too look at it. More cores faster CPU. Let's say the cores are evenly clocked at 2ghz there are 8 cores that means each core can process 2ghz worth of data totaling 16ghz. Now let's say this processor is only 6 cores instead it now can only process 12ghz at once. But let's say is 4cores at 4ghz now it processes at 16ghz. The more cores it has the less work that core does meaning less heat is produced

One more thing. Go tweet Watson ask him if the same type of chip that he uses inside him is the same that's in wii u



#103182 IBM Power 7 Confirmed

Posted by Zonark on 30 August 2012 - 06:03 AM in Wii U Hardware

This doesn't work with the examples you provided because of amdahls law of parallel processing and overhead like cache/core coherency.

The more cores you have, the less gains you get for each additional core.


I know, i didnt include cache for a reason. the reason why those examples are given that was is to provide a ground visual. as examples to get a grasp. of course if the cache is l2 l3 or l1 effect it and the level of cache as well the amount

a lot of people dont understand the functions of a processor like you and I so it must be viewed as cores only gives people the partial understanding. If I had to Id post the entire works but that would fill up this page and people still wouldnt understand

I could just say its fits more or less 0's and 1's in it lol



#103430 Developers Finally Revealing some of Wii U specs

Posted by Zonark on 31 August 2012 - 04:21 AM in Wii U Hardware

Man... some of you don't understand what porting means fully. Porting doesn't change graphics since wiiu is fully 1080p capable it will look loads better then the same port that's 720p. With that said... ports don't do justice unless the game has been modified fully like Batman. Take for instance zombiu looks amazing and is a wii u only game not a port just a game for only the wiiu

#104740 Wii U and Region Locking

Posted by Zonark on 06 September 2012 - 06:16 AM in Wii U Hardware

Most like it will be locked. But Its possible they will be region free just because the size of the disc and such. region locking doesnt really prevent anything except for making it not possible to play games from japan and such. but no security is added or removed by region locks so hopefully we will see region free this time around



#105243 Wii U and Region Locking

Posted by Zonark on 08 September 2012 - 12:28 PM in Wii U Hardware

You mean you hope that its aladeen free. (The Dictator Movie reference)



#105248 Known facts

Posted by Zonark on 08 September 2012 - 12:34 PM in Wii U Hardware

Speaking about the Wii U tablet controler, can it play all games on it exclusively without the TV?
Live in a small apartment with only 1 TV and my GF hates when I tie up the TV just to game.

Mine just hates when I game

True true.  However my gf does play Mario games though but only Mario



#105727 Does anybody know a ps3 or 360 owner thats going to convert to wii u?

Posted by Zonark on 10 September 2012 - 11:44 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't know why you would need to convert anything, just add it next to your PS3/360 and keep on playing. I have every Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony/Sega console ever made all enjoying the same space. (Virtual boy is a little lonely though)

as do I and I must agree why not just add too



#107348 Specs

#107623 IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE GOING TO PRE-ORDER THE PREMIUM EDITION

#107626 IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE GOING TO PRE-ORDER THE PREMIUM EDITION

#108408 Will I still be able to get a premium?

#108941 Can nintendo pull of the gamecube2... with better 3rd party support?

Posted by Zonark on 17 September 2012 - 04:32 AM in Wii U Hardware

Nope. I think it will be too underpowered in the long run.

Don't take offence to this. You play games based on graphics alone. Which console won the console war last? The wii. Its about sales and game play value people. The wii u will do the same the wii did sell the most consoles. And really that's what matters. Nintendo is the apple of gaming but they don't try over pricing everything

#110311 wii U. U! U!

Posted by Zonark on 19 September 2012 - 07:43 PM in Wii U Hardware

The pronounced sound of the number 2 in Japanese is "knee". Thus the Wii U would have been Wiiknee if it was named Wii 2

#114095 possibilities of $50 loss on every wii u.

Posted by Zonark on 01 October 2012 - 07:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

Blu rays laser isn't restricted so Nintendo could make a drive that uses the bluray laser.



#115172 Just Played The Wii U :)

#115465 GameStop Midnight Release

Posted by Zonark on 06 October 2012 - 06:10 PM in Wii U Hardware

Figured this would be a good place to post this for those trying to convince their gamestops to host a midnight and a fun info find for all. So is your gamestop hosting a midnight.
Post its location and yes or no
