Not exactly. The name you see now is the same exact name I have on a "certain other" forum.
Then again, I can understand you wouldn't remember me considering you hardly see any posts from me there.

tell that to the oodles of thirdparty developers who still deem wiiu unworthy ;PNo.
"1. This GPU is custom.
2. If it was based on ATI/AMD or a
Radeon-like design, the chip would carry
die marks to reflect that. Everybody has to
recognize the licensing. It has none. Only
Renesas name which is a former unit of
NEC.
3. This chip is fabricated in a 40 nm
advanced CMOS process at TSMC and is
not low tech
4. For reference sake, the Apple A6 is
fabricated in a 32 nm CMOS process and is
also designed from scratch. It’s
manufacturing costs, in volumes of 100k or
more, about $26 - $30 a pop. Over 16
months degrade to about $15 each
a. Wii U only represents like 30M units per
annum vs iPhone which is more like 100M
units per annum. Put things in perspective.
5. This Wii U GPU costs more than that by
about $20-$40 bucks each making it a very
expensive piece of kit. Combine that with
the IBM CPU and the Flash chip all on the
same package and this whole thing is closer
to $100 a piece when you add it all up
6. The Wii U main processor package is a
very impressive piece of hardware when its
said and done.
Trust me on this. It may not have water
cooling and heat sinks the size of a
brownie, but its one slick piece of silicon.
eDRAM is not cheap to make. That is why
not everybody does it. Cause its so dam
expensive"
