The Wii U eDRAM has a similar function as the eDRAM in the XBOX360. You put your GPU buffers there for fast access. On Wii U it is just much more available than on XBOX360, which means you can render faster because all of your buffers can reside in this very fast RAM. On Wii U the eDRAM is available to the GPU and CPU. So you can also use it very efficiently to speed up your application.
 
The 1GB application RAM is used for all the games resources. Audio, textures, geometry, etc.
 
Theoretical RAM bandwidth in a system doesn’t tell you too much because GPU caching will hide a lot of this latency. Bandwidth is mostly an issue for the GPU if you make scattered reads around the memory. This is never a good idea for good performance.
 
I can’t detail the Wii U GPU but remember it’s a GPGPU. So you are lifted from most limits you had on previous consoles. I think that if you have problems making a great looking game on Wii U then it’s not a problem of the hardware.


Here's the rest of the article.

Nintendo needs to have Shin`en make an engine for Wii U to be used in some games. Talent is something they do not lack.

Shin'en knows hardware better than anyone. They can flat out say "You suck" (which they are kind of doing right now), and will be able to back up their claim.

Now if Shin'en could put out a game that isn't an arcade shooter.

Most of those games are wonderful, but fun fun mini golf is just... Bleh, Jeez it sucks. Mainly because of the fiddly controls and lack of levels. The rest was good.

Y U READ THIS?...WHY IS THERE TEXT HERE? LOL WTF

I liked the motion controls. Some of the best pre m+ around. So much better than the standard power meter timing minigame.

This is absolutely true. 

You only need to take a short look at Assassin's Creed 3, a launch title, made for another console, and it still looks absolutely amazing. 

Things will only get better from here, and graphics are already good enough on last gen. No one need to worry.
