I heard the same thing. You know how you can hook a lightbulb up to a potato and it'll come on? Apparently the Wii U is so energy sparing that it can be run by a potato. It's pretty interesting but my source wishes to remain anonymous. They say they'll tell us more about their experiment sometime before the Wii U comes out and since I heard about this a few months ago that might mean the 13th. :D

"So if Zero Suit Samus is fanbait for guys, where is the fanbait for girls? Why isn’t Captain Falcon wearing a thong or sporting a chest twice the size of his last model? Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

The thing that makes this give the smell of fake is "3 enchanced broadway cores", IBM Broadway uses the PowerPC archetecture, the problem is the Wii U uses the POWER7 archetecture. So it can't be the so called "3 enhanced broadway cores", this was confirmed by IBM back when Wii U was unveiled in 2011 and was re-iterated in a twitter post.

Just looked over at VG leaks, and they've only had 2 posts, just 2 posts relating to the Wii U, there is nothing else leaked other than these so called specs that have been lying around since pre E3, Tri Core IBM Power-PC, which has been changed or debunked to a Power7 CPU and R700 GPU. There isn't else on this site that shows they have any form of credibility,

The first post was on June 4 2012 on that site, how is that a credibile source?

I was once known here as KillerMario, but since I really like Banjo-Kazooie, I changed my display name to show them my respect :)

I personally believe this information is true as parts of it have already been leaked. However it doesn't contain any performance related information like the speed of the gpu or cpu and its performance in polygons, texturing etc. With the information given it could be many times more powerful than current gen or considerably weaker. I do feel we are heading for disappointment with regard cpu performance though.

I said it was powered by an onion but whatever.

ALL THE SANE FANS ALREADY NEW THIS IM GOING FOR 1.6GHZ CPU AND 800MHZ GPU

I just want the real specs, not a 100 fake rumors.



THEY ARE THE SPECS GET USED TO IT POWER 7 IS ONLY IN YOUR OWN INSANITY

its 100%% true as wiiboy101 said 2 years ago POWERPC 400 BROADWAY-FIED CORES he didnt say edram level 2 catch thats a great upgrade 5 instructions per clock likely clocked 1.6ghz or above

full clok speeds cpu gpu bus and actual ram specs needed


could you prove your view point on the cpu please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AH-HHHmmmmmm

wii u cpu 3mb edram catch (edram at least 2x sram bandwidth same clock) x360 1mb sram ps3 512k sram I FAIL TO SEE WEAK CPU

wii u 3 powerpc out of order cores ,,,x360 3 inline cores ps3 cough cough 1 inline core

wii u 5 instructions per clock x360 and ps3 cpus 2 instructions per clock 5 vs 2 people out of order vs inline people

wiiu dedicated sound processor and co cpu arm x360 and ps3 no such extras all done on the cpu its self

ps3 spe's wiiu 3 out of order cores plus compute shaders

im still looking for the weak cpu guys ps3 1 inline core <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<i found weak

You have the weirdest way of expressing yourself.
