no just makes it par with current gen! which is a fantastic outcome

7x480p total res 2 x screen 1 wirless 120 frames can u link a youtube of ps3 doing this or can you link me to ps3 doing 1024x600p 60 frames and thats your lot COD

yes thats the point its a streaming and multi tasking home entertainment hub someone on the net or net flix or a flash drive file etc whilst someone else plays games on the tv set FREAKING AMAZING

but theres a but a BIG BUT how much of the cpu and gpu are being used to support this is there 1 of those 3 cores not used for games the cores are core zero core one and core two is core 1/2 for games and core 0 for OS i hope not GET A ARM CPU IN THERE FOR OS PLEASE LOL

iv worked out the disc load speed its 2.5 x faster than ps3s bluray i bet some of that ram is also a disc cacth like gamecube for even faster loading say 4 x ps3 it would only need 32mb or so to do that i hope so

no just makes it par with current gen! which is a fantastic outcome

fanboy GO AWAY i fail to see how way above ps3 is this gen i fail to see how gamepad is this gen i fail to see how wm+ isnt next gen

i fail to see how a disc system that loads minimum 2.5 x ps3 bluray is this gen TAKE YOUR FANBOYISM ELSEWHERE DUALSHOCK IS 1996 NOT CURRENT GEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps3 os 40-ish mb ram wiiu os upto 1gb ram i think im looking at NEXT GENERATION


2GB ram vs PS3 512MB ram yes its this gen there used to be comady films in the uk called carry on films we had carry on camping carry on doctor etc


so carry on fanboying fanboy

^ is that good thehappening?

its looking rosey very rosey those going mewntal at the low flops on cpu are not getting its a gpgpu design both the gpu and the cpus all work together as 1 system YES I KNOW THAT SOUNDS OD ALL GPUS WORK WITH A CPU no its gpgpu as in there all working together as a kinda super chip gpu and cpu can co process and gpu can do cpu tasks and act more like a cpu and cpu helping graphics can send data to the gpu with ease

broadway always had a graphics data burst pipe we now have 3 1 per core so the 3 cpus can be part of the graphics pipe line and act like part of the gpu and visa versa the gpu compute shaders can act like or assist the cpus

i still think some of that second 1gb is for helping stream data to the main ram and also maybe handle sound dsp code LIKE GAMECUBES ACCESS RAM DID this is looking so GAMECUBE 2 IN DESIGN

gpgpu coding across gpu and cpu can really be efficient and can seriously boost gaming performance ION net books over clocked run heavy games even with that tiny ataom single core cpu because the code can be optermized for gpu compute coding

So um I'm usually good on understanding hardware. Put can someone please tell me what a GPGPU can do, from what I gather it's a CPU and GPU built in together? I presume this allows the separate CPU to do more?

theres no separate cpu the tri core powerpc and the gpu act as one MASSIVE threading compute media graphics engine and this gpgpu is bulit for gaming not low end performance like a net book or whatever ,gpgpu can seriously improve performance and allows a lot of threading and a lot of co processed code gpu and cpu act as one engine room there not 2 seperate guys anymore there a gay loved up cpl living together and eating from 1 plate

Ill update periodically, didn't want anyone else to steal it

iv worked out the disc load speed its 2.5 x faster than ps3s bluray i bet some of that ram is also a disc cacth like gamecube for even faster loading say 4 x ps3 it would only need 32mb or so to do that i hope so

iv worked out the disc load speed its 2.5 x faster than ps3s bluray i bet some of that ram is also a disc catch like gamecube for even faster loading say 4 x ps3 it would only need 32mb or so to do that i hope so

ERM NO THAT WOULD BE CRAZY AND DUMB

well we all know that other 1gb of ram wont totally be used for OS and will be opened upto devs in a 3DS like way not all of it just some i mean and its a gpgpu design CLEARLY USING POWERPC 400S BROADWAY -FIED and a embedded gpu working together as a gpgpu oh look theres your flops and calling cpu weak makes you not good as its a gpgpu not a cpu and a gpu thats a ape way of looking at specs

1GB OS Memory?!? That's crazy, we're talking Windows 8 quality here!!! I better hope teh browser can be used while gaming, with 1GB I hope complete multi-tasking is available, TBH I hope the second controller can play a movie while you play a game on the gamepad with that memory. Kinday hoped that only 512MB would be dedicated.

Totally hyped that the PREMIUM console will only be £249.99

I THINK SOME OF IT WILL BE ACCESS MEMORY AND APP MEMORY FOR APPS THAT RUN WHILST GAMES ARE PLAYING AND DISC CATCH FOR BETTER MEMEORY MANAGMENT AND LOADING SPEED AND ALSO SOUND RAM FOR THAT DSP I DONT THINK ITS 50?50 DIRECT SPLIT I THINK IWATA IS KEEPING THE EXPLANATION SIMPLE

wiiu cpu is as wiiboy101 stated it was 2 years or so ago with this edram catch thats the FACT of the matter crying will not bring dead mummy back will it so stop sniffling and grow up a wii bit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

powerpc 32 bit 45nm SMP thats simutalious multi processor to those who dont know 400 family that used to be along side the 750 family but now replaces it so wiiu went from powerpc 750 to 400 family but there still broadway - fied cores now with a custom 3mb catch

thats the wiiu cpu SO END THE SILLYNESS

LOL TWITTER IS PROOF LOL AT THE 11 YEAR OLD VIEW OF THE WORLD LOL


powerpc 400 series broadway cores 3x core around 5 watts power use BUT TO INSANE LITTLE 11 YEAR OLDS ITS A 3XCORE POWER 7 WITH 100 WATTS POER USEAGE LOL

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.

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

LOL WIIBOY101 WOULD LOVE TO SAY HI THE CPU IS TRI CORE POWERPC 400 BROADWAY-FIED LOL @ POWER7 FANBOYS ITS THE EXACT CPU WIIBOY STATED 2 YEARS AGO POWERPC 32 BIT 400 SERIES WITH BROADWAYCORES

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

HOW MANY TIMES DID I WORN U

lol there insane morons, i dont care what they buy ........the im hardcore excuse is gut burstingly funny ,ms/sony are so far behind and obsolete i find the term hardcore down right lying there sad act little sados who beleive anything mr industry says

all casual games will blow SORRY NINTENDOS WILL OWN ,,,put some effort in guys the worst will be those ultra casual games like who wants to be a millionare jepody etc


i love how all these piles of crap arose from the fire of ps2 and dvd players BUT WII GOT THE BLAME gota love blind people blaming the innocent

blame dvd and ps2 for this not wii

After doing lots of reading about wii u,including rumours and people seemingly having access to Nintendo,IBM,and AMD's plans,i have to ask this question.....

Why do you all seem to think you know whats inside the console?

Person A: Its a Power 7 super duper IBM powerhouse CPU.

Person B: No,its a tri core cpu worse or equal to the 360 cpu.

How do you guys know this/that?

Do you not sometimes take a step back,and realise your just following rumours,you should say this to yourselves: "you know what,im just going along with what im reading"

Its a joke tbh.

But i have no doubt of the potential of this new console. Apparently it has '1GB or RAM available to games' But people suddenly think the Wii u only has 1GB RAM. Think about it,the PS3 only has 256mb of VRAM,the Wii U has a whole GB,this is awesome make no mistake.

But still,even im speculating,because we dont know if it has 1GB Vram,or if it has 1gb ram split between System and GFX.

Either way,its at least double the amount of 360 or PS3 so rest assured the Wii U WILL be much better than the current gen.

Tbh i cant wait for Wii U it looks awesome,im currently talking it up amongst my friends family,i cant wait to show them Zombi U and Aliens:CM. Cheers.

i fail to see how a powerpc 400 series is equal to or lower than a cpu that has 3 cores each weaker than a ATOM core..... thats a fact by the way xenon is a freaking joke of a cpu it has 1 execution unit like its the 70s or something atom at least has 2

x360s cpu also has a small catch for 3 cores and its rumored to run at half the clock speed of the core like VERY OLD FASHIONED CPUS so its 3.2ghz cores and 1.6ghz catch like some old 6800 series from long long ago LOL then take the following into account its running OS AND IO and all the SOUND AND AUDIO

same apply s the CELL CPU its not ps3s cpu THATS FLAT OUT LYING its the cpu the sound processor the OS the IO and its 50% of the ps3s GPU comparing different systems like for like its dumb

CELL IS A SINGLE INLINE CPU WITH ONE EXECUTION UNIT PLUS THOSE DUMB SPE's and xenon is a 3xcore one execution unit inline core system theres no DSP theres no co cpu and theres no compute shader true gpgpu programming ability

stop this mindless xenon was powerfdul fan worship the cpu was aover heating clock trashing out dated pile of total krrap

a powerpc tri core at only 1.6ghz is clearly way above xenon then ad the DSP and the ARM its clear as a sunny day that its a vastly superior cpu set up,the level of fanboy i see everyday in forums makes me giggle theres even people on neogaf saying no sound processor is better than having a sound processor THATS BEYOND BLIND FANBOYING

nintendo builds consoles not pc's not servers CONSOLES so pc aliking a cpu is so stupid and out of touch its insane the powerpc in wiiu is nintendos own special version based on a continued evolution of gekko NOW THATS A FACT IL GLADLY TAKE ANY WAGER LON THIS FACT PUT YOUR MONEY WERE YOUR FAKE AZZ POWER 7 MOUTH IS AT

its a powerpc 400 BROADWAY-FIED 3 x core and a custom catch of IBM EDRAM = 3MB lets all stop the pretending its anything else wiiboy101 told you people this like 24 months ago he was right he always was....

ps3 has a single inline cpu core wii u has 3 out of order cpu cores ps3 has a 512k catch wiiu has a 3mb catch this is not rocket science guys

right for the sake of commonsense and everything holy in the world lets look at this like informed educated adults not beeeattches or sony fanbabys

7x 480p 120 frames over 2 screens at the same time, in real time with 1 screen wireless is not 2x x360 to any person with math skills above a 3 year old ,lets for the sake of debate stop the 3 year old act !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......

x360 1024X600p near 60 frames for say COD and 1280x720p for say battlefield there is no 1080p 30 or 60 frames on x360 and no second screen anywere last time i checked....

thats 2x 480p near 60 frames , wiiu is doing 120 frames split between 2 screens and 480p on 1 screen and 1080p onthe other thats 7x 480p over 2 screens

last time i did math 7x 480p and 120 frames is vastly ahead of 2x 480p and 60 frames NOT NEXT GEN AH-HHHMMMM and gamepad and wii motion plus are clearly next gen to anything ms or sony have to offer

and those hoping for a sony come back are breeding unicorns as 3DS has proven this imposible as 3DS has a 10to1 userbase over psvita the same would happen to ps4 lets just be honest here 3DS userbase is wider than DS psp proving that once disrupted you cannot return your dead nintendo knows this lol ps4 all powerful keep dreaming fanboys hahahahahahaha

2x x360 would be 4x 480p clearly wiiu is doing 7 x 480p and 120 frames thats clearly more like 4x x360 as has been rumored for months suggestion!!!!


now apply 7x480p and 120 frames to just a tv set no support for second screen or minimum support for it and apply that power to a sub 1080p resolution i think thats way way way more than 2x x360

well its looking better all the time,ubisoft have agian confirmed that rayman is 1080p 60 frames whist the controller screen is 480p 60 frames in game,and that the wiiu fully supports this level of resolution support thats 7 x 480p 120 frames being supported clearly !!!!!

the wiiu also again is said to have loads of ram and has no issues with memory at all

http://gonintendo.co...story&id=184911

here we go again with the casual falacy that never was

Your grammar is terrible, you need to turn off your caps lock for good. And you need to watch your language because their are some younger people here who might be offended by it. And your wrong because
It's in pounds not dollars, the guy on YouTube said dollars. A lot of people are hearing things from stores, my GameStop told me $299 but I just ignored it because GameStop is stupid. Please be more respectful with your posts

look trying to insult doesnt change a fact does it THE KID TOLD LIES GOT FOUND OUT END OF STORY this kid didnt get informed by a game manager it was 199.99 he simply watched another dude in a video say 199.99 dollars and copied it ,my grammar doesnt come into it

A LIARS A LIAR there was no mythical meeting at a game store and theres no power7 in wiiu A FACTS A FACT

he said the exact same story this thread is based on a blatent lie he just changed gamestop to game usa to uk and $199.99 to £199.99 its obvious i new it as soon as i started reading (ever watched true romance the scene with the mafia don asking dennis hopper were his son was well think of me as that mafia guy i now wen i see a liar) LOL @ THIS DUDE

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this exact story is the top of gonintendos lead web page by an american black guy stating 199.99 dollars and the exact same story but gamespot not game YOU HAVE SEEN THAT GUYS VIDEO AND PRETENDED IT WAS YOU THIS HAPPENED TO

THIS IS FAK HE IS TROLLING THE PROOF IS HERE HE WATCHED THIS THEN CAME HERE AND FAKE AZZED HIS ZHIT ON TO US

http://gonintendo.co...ory&id=184615�� liar liar bums on fire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give my regards to pinnochio

gamestop became game, usa became uk , dollars became pounds try harder next time you tell people lies LOL i gotcha fare and square dude

what pressure psvita sold 2.2 million at a loss so far and 3DS is killing it i dont see failure and debt and no money to spend as presure i dont see kinect as pressure and ios devices seem confused to what gaminmg is and what it requires wiiu will get far better 3rd party support but total no and it doesnt need it its the industry under pressure as a whole and the economy

stand up station FOR CORE GAMERS im loving that stand up station but i am expecting a gamepad cradle to ship with the console i hope so anyways

right why the stand up station is a MUST for true core gamers DUAL CONTROLER PLAY THATS WHY!!!! you play say COD on wiiu you use the wii remote and nunchuck controls (as a core guy would do naturally hhhmmm) so your CORRECTLY PLAYING A FPS no twin sticks of qiuckscope casual aim ah-hhhm.... so your sitting there chilling with the wii remote playing COD you look down all your info and map etc can display on the gamepad screen all your voice chat is over gamepad mic and speakers and you can point at the gamepad screen and activate interact etc in real time no pauses and lets not forget video chat you could point down flick upwards to tv screen the item changed screen and it activates no jumping in and out of game reqiured

you could also have twin view a view point on the tv and a differant view point on the gamepad screen I EXPECT THIS GAMES INDUSTRY dont let me down like u did with wii

twin sticks and pro pads are for fake cores who refuse to evolve that witch dont evolve DIES.............@ E3 the pikmen game was played like this wii remote and chuck and maps etc on gamepad screen in a stand at base of tv THIS IS MY WII U WAY TO PLAY

how can a cpu that does not exist be confirmed there is no power7 in wiiu for wiiu its 3x powerpc cores and 3mb of level 2 catch as already confirmed even a interns c.v on the web for a new job clearly proves this fact

like iv been telling you people for like 2/3 tears wiiu cpu will follow broadway its based on 2010 45nm powerpc 400 tech
with the cores BROADWAY ENHANCED AND A CUSTOM 3MB EDRAM CATCH the cores are 5 instructions per clock efficient clearly the cpu is a 3x core powerpc as in POWERPC 476FP but not fp instead Broadway 2 ….
the expected clockspeed is 1.6ghz to 2.0ghz as thats powerpc 45nm 400 clockspeed it maybe higher say 2.4ghz but i expect a 1.6ghz tri core aditional to the cpu is a dedicated sound processor a DSP and a ARM CO CPU like starlet in wii…..
the cpu vs ps3 and x360 would be 3x core powerpc out of order a sound dsp and a arm co cpu vs the cpu of x360 in a like for like comparison……
we are looking at a cpu around 15 x more powerful than wiis broadway it supports SMP and has the worlds bext singlecore per core performance in the world off the shelf this powerpc core is twice the cpu a ARM A9 IS CLOCK FOR CLOCK so a tri core at 1.6ghz would be a very least 3 x as powerful as a 1.6ghz dualcore ARM A9
it has 5 instructions per clock per core vs 2 instructions of x360s xenon cpu and it processes in out of order not crappy inline like x360s xenon also each core boasts 5 execution units xenon only has 1 execution unit per core
xenon of x360 has 1 execution unit per core 3 in total wiiu has 5 per core 15 in total wiiu has 3mb edram catch (edram twice bandwidth of sram per clock) x360 has 1mb sram catch
x360 has no sound processor or buddy cpu wii u has a ARM BUDDY CPU (STARLET 2) AND A DEDICATED DSP SOUND ENGINE
its clearly at very least 2x x360s cpu power with amassive catch me,memory
other factual things i know
x360 3.2ghz x2 instructions = 6400 instructions x 3 cores = 19200 instructions inline
wiiu cpu if at 1.6ghz 5 instructions x 1.6ghz =8000 x 3 cores =24000 instrutions out of order not crappy inline then ad sound dsp and arm co cpu CLEARLY EATS X360 FOR DINNER WITH A MASSIVE HEAT SAVING POWER USE SAVING AND MASSIVE RELIABILLITY IMPROVMENTS
FLOPS NOT NEEDED ON CPU AS GPU DESTROYS FLOPS OF X360 PS3 AND WII GPUS CONBINED AND IS COMPUT SHADER READY
ITS ALL CALLED COMMONSENSE

a little something posted at my nintendo news clearly the truth power7 = not in wiiu UBISOFT CONFIRMED OVER 12 MONTHS AGO LIKE Wii BUT MULTICORE

vgleak reconfirms this with tricore powerpc plus custom 3mb catch

wiiu cpu is 3 single thread out of order cores each core has a graphics data burst pipe /buffer and a locked level 1 catch its called 3xpowerpc broadway cores and 3mb of edram catch that is the cpu theres no if or but or dream thats the cpu acept a fact as a fact and forget your 120watt power7 12 thread fantasys

if edram is like wii then expect a texture catch how much edram for texture catch and frame buffer we dont know im hoping its like this so both texture catch and frame buffer get a huge amount of bandwidth wiis gpuhad 512 bit texture catch and a 512bit frame and z buffer 1mb was texture 2mb was buffer

is wiiu 20mb buffer 2mb controller screen buffer and say 10mb texture catch or does it even have a texture catch of edram lets wait and see ,but we all now know 100% the cpu is a powerpc 400 3xcore
