Wii U to have Quad Cores + DX 11 GPU?

We all know that the next Wii will feature AMD's Trinity APU but not much as been revealed about the specs of Trinity, but accoding to this (below) Trinity may have 4 Cores and DX 11 GPU:

http://www.fudzilla.com/processors/item/23525-amds-2012-cpu-lineup-detailed

"The Trinity APU features up to four Piledriver CPU cores paired up with DirectX 11 GPU core."

It's shouldn't be a surprise I suppose, considering AMD's next APU is supposed to have 50% less power consumption than current APU's and less cost which would perfectly fit Nintendo's model of less cost + less heat from their console hardware.

They may use a slightly downgraded GPU for their next console that's based on this GPU.

Less power is good. But is usually also means less performance.

Now lets wait for those Sony and Microsoft fanboys trash talk about how underpower it will be when their consoles launch.

where has it been confirmed that wiiu is using trinity? last i heard the wiiu was using an IBM processor and an R770 based GPU from AMD. not an APU.osan0

LOL this is Nintendo we are talking about. No.RR360DD

So you're assuming they willput in some incredibly weak GPU/CPU into the WiiU and the next gen cosoles will be able to make it look like the Wii. Keep dreaming there's a good chance that may not happen this time.

If this is going into a console, it's most certainly the new Xbox, who has already been rumored to use a Bulldozer APU.

Wii U is getting an IBM CPU and a RV770-based GPU, not an APU

this is all just rumor and speculation we don't even know what's in the Wii U

Just because its a DX11 GPU doesn't mean its going to be any good. I dont trust Nintendo to deliver a reasonable powerful system. I'll just have to wait and see, not buying it either way though.

All I'm saying it's possible to make another powerful console like before, and I would be shocked if it was worse than 360-PS3 in specs.

you see i was under the impressing the wii-u was going to run off an hd 4730 2gb ram and an ibm tri core 32-bit cpu :P

You guys do realize that an R770 discreet card would be likely to be more powerful than an APU's GPU, right?

Kinthalis

the 4730 is a bit stronger than a modern hd 6670 dx11 card and the hd 4770 sits around the same preformance as the hd 4830/9800gtx

i know this slounds like hebrew or something to the un-knowledgeable but all of those cards out preform the apu's 6650m (abut equal with an 8800gs)

no you know what, you dont wanna see nintendo when there at their best, been there done that , and its good see super nintendo ,,

ya like i said you aint seen the nintendo i seen hahah and they will do it , if the wii is continuing they will upgrade it period , end of story by the way 3dses are 169 starting auguest 12th ,, so if you want one id wait , , youll regret not , so much for ngp being the same price now its more expensive just like ds vs psp man im so happy , , to know im getting 20 free games lol , not like i was dying for games i got like 13 hundred total , lol

or more lol all i know it better not be games i already have lol like the 9 vc games i downloaded lol

4 Quad cores?? thats a lot :P

jk - but that sounds impressive. It will need those to keep up with next gen consoles but lets remember that PC has had these for wuite some time now

what are you talking about? 13 hundred games? proof? Again... what are you on about?

it does not have a dx 11 gpu because it does not run windows

[QUOTE="RR360DD"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Yeah, because they never made powerful consoles in the past...

You shouldn't waste your time with him. He has been complaining about the Wii U ever since it was announced.

I always enjoy reading your posts.:) You seem to know a lot about Nintendo. What country are you from?

Everyone keeps saying AMD APU this APU that... MS is going to usean IBM chip and so is the Wii U.

Who would one an all on die GPU/CPU? not me. Might as well put notebook parts in it and get crappy performance.

Truth_Hurts_U

People who want a cost effective solution that generates less heat. Do we want a repeat of RRoD?

Half of my total post count is me trying to explain to people what direct X is and why claimg that GPU "uses" direct X is a silly thing to say. I officially give up.

Clock Speed > Cores.

Just because its a DX11 GPU doesn't mean its going to be any good. I dont trust Nintendo to deliver a reasonable powerful system. I'll just have to wait and see, not buying it either way though.

GTSaiyanjin2

Except for the Wii they always have though.

As for DX 11, the Wii U won't use it even if that GPU supports it. That's microsoft tech.

Now lets wait for those Sony and Microsoft fanboys trash talk about how underpower it will be when their consoles launch.

NoodleFighter

I have no qualms with the WiiU, and even if the next consoles that come out from Sony and Microsoft are more powerful- Nintendo should and hopefully will stick to what they know and do best and make family friendly, fun games that is accessible to many demographs and set themselves apart.

It all depends on the architecture.

Sometimes that is the case, sometimes it's not.

It would be awesome if the Wii U was that powerful, only time will tell.
