Rumor: New round of Wii U specs, comes close to Xbox 360

Posted on December 2, 2011 by (@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U

Is it time to start up the Wii U rumor mill once again? Perhaps, as someone has published some unconfirmed specs about the console.

Wii U Daily claims to have obtained some information from a developer who has been porting a PlayStation 3 title to Wii U.

The rumored specs are as follows:

– Quad Core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU
– 768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
– Unknown, 40nm ATI-based GPU

Supposedly Nintendo has been testing one console version that includes 768 MB of RAM and another with 1 GB of RAM. The site believes IBM has made the RAM which is embedded within the processor.

Keep in mind that the rumored specs above were from a Wii U kit handed to developers back in March. It’s possible that the console has seen an increase in power since then and may give it a larger edge over the Xbox 360.
