[QUOTE="Deleted_171835, post: 4636673"] Considering the Frostbite director didn't even specify the CPU as a problem, all of this is really speculative. And from what I see, there is nothing that indicates the CPU was indeed a problem. The more likely scenario is that the dev tools were still premature when they were testing it ([URL='http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-need-for-speed-most-wanted-wii-u-behind-the-scenes']Criterion said as much[/URL]). But on the topic of the CPU, this "far older technology" features out of order processing and beats the 360's Xenon clock-per-clock on integer workloads. There's even a DSP for audio processing to take some of the load off the processor unlike the 360. It isn't as inferior to the Xenon as you put it out to be. And yeah, sure the Wii U's Espresso may be lacking when it comes to SIMD or in terms of floating point performance when it comes to the Cell or Xenon but these supposed [I]next-gen[/I] CPUs don't fare much better and Frostbite 3 is coming to them. The Jaguar only reaches half of the peak performance of the Cell and is essentially a "netbook CPU". If Frostbite 3 can support the PS3/360, it most certainly can support the Wii U. Like I already said, this is more likely a matter of EA not feeling that the Wii U is worth allocating resources to at this point because of how it's selling right now. [/QUOTE]
