So feel free to move the topic if it's in the wrong place...but anyway
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?

har, well, lets bring that topic up, i have'nt guessed the specs yet!
i bet you could make this relevant by linking to the last post of the old post
thanks everybody for getting mad at a double topic poster :huh:

You missed what I meant. I meant Nintendo fans know the systems are great already. But nobody actually gives a **** about what exactly is in the system.

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 still reckon the mass produced dev kit is going to be close to the final spec and its too late in the day to be adding an extra core. There was talk of a last minute improvement to the spec and I think thats extra memory if anything. So 2GB main memory sounds a possibility but still think 1.5GB is more likely with 1/2GB as onchip memory with maybe the cpu and 1GB as a chip external to that.

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.

Either 3 core or 4-core processer
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)

Aslong as you don't substitute intuitive and fun gameplay than you can. Graphics are ment to supplement. I feel that Aslong as they don't overshadow gameplay.

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
