Several websites have the Nintendo Wii U taken apart and the different components on the picture. So you can see what and how much memory the new console has, and see that the gpu is up to five times as large as the cpu.
Both Anandtech and PC Perspective have attracted an 8GB model apart from the Nintendo Wii U, where there is also a 32GB model came to market. From the teardown shows that the console has 2GB of ram. The memory used is not, however, in each instance the same. So has Anandtech’s copy about 2GB of 1600MHz ddr3 memory from Hynix, while the console of PCP features 2GB of ddr3 memory from Samsung with an unknown clock speed. The bandwidth is estimated to be somewhere between the 12.8 GB/s and 17GB/s, assuming that you’re using a 64bit memory bus with the memory interact. For now, 17GB/s less than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but just like the Xbox 360 has the Wii U also has edram where the gpu to communicate with it.
Anandtech went a step further and removed the heatspreader of the multi-chip module, or mcm. Under the heatspreader are three pieces of silicon, of which the largest is the gpu, while the cpu only one-fifth as large. The smallest chip is the edram, which the gpu can communicate, and where presumably the majority of the memory bandwidth will come from. The cpu is based on the PowerPC architecture and would IBM be produced on a 45nm process. The gpu is from AMD and is slightly larger than the RV740 chip, which AMD his HD 4770 used. This would make the gpu 640 streamprocessors on board may have, what video cards of today are relatively few.
Except for the different chips and the memory there were two different wi-fi modules were observed; one for the usual wi-fi traffic and one that is only used to picture to the Wii U GamePad to stream through miracast technology.
The first comparisons have appeared. For example, the following screenshot will be created on the Xbox 360 and the Wii U, but the biggest difference is the shadows that are on the Wii You much blokkeriger. The image of the Wii U seems to be slightly sharper.
