Ive researched the Hynix memory, its of the exact same specifications as the samsung memory found in other wii u's.

12.8 Gb a second is Legit. People, let it go. Whatever else you may think of you dont like about what this guys said... You cant use 12.8 Gb/s bandwidth. Its straight.

1.6 Gb a pin @ 8 pins = a max bandwidth for the 2Gb pool of main memory of 12.8Ghz a second.

So, why are people freaking out over this? I mean, if Wii u had to rely on this main memorys bandwidth the way ps3 and 360 did, thats one thing, but the wii u has a whole buttload of edram on both processors, with bandwidth and latency that makes ddr look like a joke. This memories only purpose is to hold crap thats not being used so that top tier memory can switch it in and out, and keep the os and multitasking apps in the background. You dont need a ton of bandwidth to be a bucket.

no big issues with the hardware so far, but i am a bit disappointed i can't use the GamePad in the bathroom...

Don't bother calling Nintendo, they'll tell you to send your brand new console in for repair.
