Guess the Specs

The Wii U's specs have been confusing, yet exciting for everyone lately so I though we should all guess on what is to come.
Here's mine:
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6770, a LOT of signs are pointing to this.
CPU: It's an IBM Power Processor we know that, but which model is something I have know clue about. I'm gonna say though that it has 4 Cores, 2 threads each, and is clocked at 3.6 GHz.
RAM: 2 GB, period.
Storage: 8 GB Flash Memory
Ugh is there anything else I'm forgetting?
We foot will rebel one day.

Who really gives a damn...Its Nintendo we are talking about. Specs and Nintendo dont mix.
SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube say hi.

Neeed mod to delete duplicate!!! I don't feel I have enough info to guess the specs
Yeah sorry bout the double topic post, my internet is glitchy like that...
har, well, lets bring that topic up, i have'nt guessed the specs yet!

Haters like U can't just go along with something interesting or fun to do? What other idea do u have that might be relevant huh? As far as I can see ur just a coward with a keyboard and maybe u could join the fun!

I agree exactly with that.So feel free to move the topic if it's in the wrong place...but anyway

They do we talk about it everyday.You missed what I meant. I meant Nintendo fans know the systems are great already. But nobody actually gives a carp crap about what exactly is in the system.

I think the power cpu will be sub 3ghz like 2.4-2.8ghz
I think the gpu will be a cut down version with reduced polygon and texturing output compared to the PC gpu its based on and run at a slower core speed than the PC version.
I think because the cpu and gpu are based on later technology they will still outperform 360 but only marginally because I think they will be run at a slower speed than the 360 chips. The main improvement will be extra memory especially the 32megabytes of ultra fast high bandwidth video memory the gpu will have access to.

GPU: AMD Radeon 6770
Memory: 2GB, with a high amount of embedded RAM (which is confirmed)

You're an idiot. You can be a Nintendo fan and care about specs.Nope your not a fan of Nintendo if you do. Your just a tech head.

3 x threads a core
L1 Cahce 512k
L2 Cache 256k
L3 Cache 3MB
Somewhere between the specs of AMD Radeon 4770 and 5770. Although tell me if I'm wrong, the 6770 is cheaper? So might be that. I don't know, where's the recent evidence for the 6770?
Between 1.5 and 2GB RAM. Eithe 1GB GDDR5 RAM and 512 SDRAM (OS). Or 1GB GDDR5 and 1GB SDRAM (512mb for games, 512mb for OS)

AMD didn't rebrand ATI to AMD until 2010, which was in the 6xxx Series. There was also a source that quoted a 6770 as the card. I think it will be a 6xxx HD card myself, but we'll see.

Say if the console is $300/£249.99, and make profit for Nintendo and retailers. What's the most generous specs? Also with the 6770, I'm trying to see the difference between that and the 5770, I head someone say it's 15% better, but I can't see where? Also why can I get the 6770 cheaper (retail) than the 5770, and heck even the 4770? It doesn't make sense! Then again isn't this a custom chip set with specs from different models. Last time I heard it had a 50 - 80w power draw, was quite quiet, and ran an 750Mhz,
On another note I'd love the quad core to be true, but I hope they didn't reduce the threads down to two like rumoured. This is because (warning long answer coming up) by the looks of things, the leaked dev kit specs have a tri-core processor with 3-threads a core. This gives us 9-processing threads. That allows for far greater simultaneous processing that the 360. Which would make sense with the control pad n' all. It still wouldn't make the console 2x the 360, unlike the GPU which is substantially more powerful if the specs of the card are untouched.
However if we shove in a 4-core at 3-threads a core (let's not expect Nintendo for the full 4-threads) with 3MB L3 cache, we suddenly get double the processing threads in the 360. That sounds the most likely to me. I'd keep the core clock at 3.2Ghz
