World Exclusive: Wii U Final Specs

I dont belive this is the CPU. Both IBM and Nintendo has said its a powerpc architecture, so I trust them before this rumor.

I hope the Wii Component Video cable can do 1080p or at least 1080i when connected to a WiiU HDMI is great but beingable to move the wiiU around to every room in the house would be great. (sure i guess i could just do that with the tablet screen perhaps or perhaps not……. but only for solo i woudl think.

i Have a full Wii Set up atm so if a good splitscreen multiplayer game comes out for the WiiU some one in my house will prob get one…. i think Sony and Microsoft have ignored how expensive controllers actually are having alot of wii motes and nunchucks and even classic controlers out there already (its actualy not been said that clasic controlers work on wiiu which makes me sad but nunchucks do) could make a big diference for WiiU.. Also i expect Nintendo to get some exclusive DLC for Blackops2… this along with mabye 5 player suport on WiiU and only 4 player or 2 player suport on PS3/Xbox could make the wiiU fly ahead in a generation of gamers that are just about to get there “after highschool” console after upgrading from thur big bros xbox. People talk about installbases but at the end of the day…. once youtubers start showing 1080p COD footage from a WiiU ALOT of people will switch (not to mention cod with a wii mote is FASTER than a mouse)

Really these are the rumored specs! Vgleaks I don’t know where you guys got your information from but it isn’t correct! Check out my videos on YouTube at Mrllive08 on the Wii U specs

I hope its wrong, God dammit Nintendo, Try using current gen hardware for once.

to all sane non stupid people

wiiu cpu is 45nm, its a powerpc 400 family its upgraded to broadway core instructions and graphics burst pipes ,data compression,gamecentric instructions and 2 way 32 bit simds

its rated at 5 instructions per clock and is likely clocked at 1.6ghz or there abouts theres a co cpu likely a arm 9/11 type chip and a DSP sound procesor

5xcore 3x core cpu 1 xcore co cpu and a dsp for sound 5 cores vs xenon if thats how your looking at this

level 2 catch is ibm edram not sram and is 3mb 2mb to 1 core and 512k to the other 2 cores core 1 is a turbo core main core with 2mb catch

this cpu co cpu and sound chip vs wii is likely arounds 15 x the processing power

The Wii U should also have a 32 Bit Macronix DSP for 5.1 surround sound but be able go into a 16 bit mode for running the stereo Based Pro Logic 2 audio in original Wii games and Gamecube ROMs downloaded from Virtual Console.

lol the stats here have been proven wrong already fools what a crappy ass web site

GPU has got to be based on HD4670,,, its just got to be, the peak texture resolution and the opengl and shader specs are all totally in line with a spec break down of the HD4670 the wiiU started development in 2008 also the year of the HD4670

the rops are clearly 8 rops,, rayman developer talked of high fillrates AND big high res textures and theres 2 x screens to support

that all looks very high texel fillrate to me and HD4670 has 32 texture units its a perfect gpu for amd to tweak and upgrade and die shrink and license to nintendo

HD4670 is a 55nm chip shrinking to 45nm to match the cpu is easy or even a 40nm shrink i cannot see the gpu remaining at 55nm if in fact it is a HD4670

that gpu refined and with a big bandwidth edram would be a huge fillrate beast and added fixed funtion to boost overall performance like say hollywood tev and effects for both back ward play and wiiu assistence to shaders etc

i got my casino chips on CUSTOM HD 4670 CORE

DirectX 10.1 isn’t next-gen … >_> WHY does Nintendo insist on calling it a next gen it’s on the same level (if not sometimes slightly better) than the Xbox360/PS3.

WiiU doesn’t even run CoD:BLOPS2 at 1080p NATIVE at a SOLID 60fps… it’s upscaled from 880×720 with an average of 44 FPS >_<. Considering that Xbox360 does the same upscaling with an overal FPS of 50 that's just wrong. They should of invested more in their hardware. 3core processor with JUST 1,25 GHz?!

Oh yes DirectX 10.1 what a joke. DirectX 11 is being used in PCs since 2011. Next step DirectX11 that will become the base design for games. In a year or 2 (2014-2015) the ONLY games NOT developed for DirectX11.1 will be WiiU …

I used to be a big nintendo fan. NES, SNES, Gamecube were AMAZING for their time. I just wish that they'd look at their competition and instead of giving gimmicky controllers they would USE the motion plus WITH a good hardware configuration like:

4core 4ghz processor (maybe FX6xxxx series)

at least a heavily modified gtx550TI gpu or ati7850

8gb ram 1600

60-120 GB SSD

Now THAT would be the bare minimum for going full on DirectX11 games at over 60FPS with more AA and a decent upscaling if needed. Heck it could even run native 1080p at less demanding games. Could sell it for around 450 USD and include one Wii Motion Plus controller.
