This is a great understandable article I found and I think it has some of the most accurate speculation on the web, and everything it says is backed by presented evidence. However it is 2 months old..

That's a very well written article. I'm glad some people out their actually use their brain.

I wish we knew exactly what was in this thing. That is one of the reasons I am so excited for launch. We will soon be able to prove all of the idiots who hate on the Wii U for no reason wrong.

Gddr5 is some serious stuff.

Oh and about the speculated power 7.

Wow! Bravo to this guy for no bias at all.

a little dated, but still a great read

Hmmm, Im leaning towards PowerPC more than Power 7, to cut down on Manufacturing costs...and the GPU IS custom so it may be likely...

[Keviin]

But P7 = confirmed.

[MorbidGod]

The CPU is based off the POWER7, it is not based off the older PowerPC. This has been confirmed since E3 2011.

And very good read.

Yep good article list everything people need to hear hardware wise, and some things game wise. And Unreal 4 could be on Wii U.

Best article on Wii U and its hardware since its reveal

highly agreed it sounds like such a beast for specs wise. well i should say just everything lol.

TES 6 in 1080 p without awful framerate= my life is complete.

[Robotic Sunshine Commander]

yes i have been saying this for a long time. you have a console that will be able to display "TRUE NATIVE" 720p 30FPS on main tv and streaming 480p on two gamepads "WITHOUT LAG. people that question if this console is more powerful than PS360 which cant even handle true native 720p... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? just imagine what devs can do if they make a game that doesnt use the gamepad but gamepad pro. 1080p 30 FPS can be done even on more complex games.

even with two gamepads its 1980p but its a framerate drop. but yah i agree

1080p?? And it can run with 1 gamepad 1080 at at least 30 FPS, and with FPS games it can no doubt run at 60fps because of how little power those games require.

You get TV's saying they're 1080p but they're really not

If only Tele's could talk...

yah idk why u put question marks at kindof confused me at first lol
Btw 30 fps is with two gamepads and it will still do 1080p for future games

I put the question marks cause I was wondering if you meant that instead of 1980p whoch is what you put. Srry for confusing you though, it confuses me when I look at it now too.
