Nintendo has never bothered with high-level graphics, they don't need a high end GPU.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

I'm excited for this thing. I hope some developers will really take advantage of the screen, maybe get a DnD feel to their games.

Another shitty console from Nintendo? Shocker. They should've just stopped trying after the NGC and jsut went to the handheld market. The Wii was such a disappointment

The WiiU actually runs AAA titles At 1080p with 60fps.
The full version of COD Black Ops II is headed to the WiiU.
OpenCL with a custom E6760 and a POWER based CPU with good FP performance gives you a lot of potential for vidya.

I'm kinda curious as to how you know this, anon. What AAA titles have currently been released for this non-existent console that are supposedly running flawlessly?

OpenCL doesn't make sense for console hardware. Console programmers usually have enough specs to program parallel processors directly and no one would even think of compiling kernels at runtime.

Wow, why don't you just google it. Its not like this is a secret or anything. The devs publicly announced it, and Nintendo has been publicizing the fact that their console uses GPGPU.
The game natively renders 1920x1080 at 60fps while simultaneously outputting to the screen on the tablet as well.
Stop living under a fucking rock.

I know IBM had to backtrack from "POWER7" to just "POWER based", but doesn't that still rule out Broadway (PPC750)?
Also I find the GX2 rumor highly doubtful unless its simply what Nintendo is calling their OpenGL ES 2 implementation version due to its likely custom vendor extensions.

OP's post is full of bullshit.
Nintendo showed most specs of the console in their Nintendo Direct webstreams.
The console has 2gbs of ram. 1gb is for the CPU, and reserved for the OS, the other is for gaymin. The GPU has 32mb of EDRAM.
The 1gb of RAM for gaymin is likely GDDR5 which would make the rest of what they said about it in regards to GPGPU stuff line up perfectly with the E6760.
Specifics regarding the CPU haven't been confirmed by anyone.
Though the discs it uses are basically dual layer Blurays. The drive and discs were designed by Panasonic so they could get around paying royalties to Sony. Read speeds were stated at being up to 22.5MB/s which leaves previous consoles in the dust.
They also spoke a bit about power usage. Average draw is supposed to be something like 40 watts, peak draw around 75 watts if I recall.
The videos are up on youtube if you want to see them.

That's pretty cool. Can't wait 'till it's actually out and the developers start playing with the new hardware. I'm not gonna get one personally until MH3 Ultimate comes out though.
>The videos are up on youtube if you want to see them.
Can you link them?
