@marcan42 minor CPU update, major graphics chipset upgrade?
It's kind of sad how people seem to think that the WiiU will have a POWER7 CPU. Prepare to be disappointed. Hint: Wii backwards compat.

@JVyrn Yes, in the sense that the CPU is probably just 3 copies of the Wii CPU, but the GPU is probably entirely new (they need to do that).

@marcan42 did anyone actually thing that? I can't see how a POWER7 would even be useful in that situation -
@MisterHatt IBM PR people seem to think that: http://is.gd/HStN3T - Show replies

@BrandtMackay Learn the tech, POWER7 is a large *server* CPU, and NOT backwards compatible with the Broadway. It won't be in the WiiU.

@BrandtMackay The only element of POWER7 tech that will probably be in the WiiU is the eDRAM cache.
