I thought it was simply just 2 wiis taped together?

 

The Wii U uses the Espresso CPU which has some similarities to the XBOX 360 CPU but keeps compatibility with the wii's Broadway. The GPU is an completely New Chip developed by AMD.

WTF, the whole CPU is named Broadway.

 

There are a lot of differences. By comparison, the Wii and GC were quite similar.

The Wii U was not significantly more powerful that the Wii, but it did have a tri-core CPU (verses the single core in the Wii) and more memory/faster graphics. But the CPU was backwards compatible with the Wii and the GPU was more than capable of handling Wii/GC SD graphics. The Wii U uses an actual OS as well (unlike the Wii)
.
The Switch uses a modified Nvidia Tegra X1 processor while the Wii U has a 1.24GHz tri-core IBM CPU and 550MHz Radeon GPU. They are not compatible. Don't expect the Switch to ever run Wii U games.

 

The Broadway is a microprocessor or cpu lol they both mean the same thing.

Definition of a microprocessor

an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a central processing unit of a computer.

 

Just so you know I'm not talking bs look at this.

 

Most of the good Wii U games have or are coming to Swich anyway. Best you're going to get otherwise buy a Wii U.

You must be out of the loop Saturn emulation is coming to Switch https://gbatemp.net/threads/yaba-sanshiro-optimised-sega-saturn-emulator-coming-soon.549776/ and is already playable on Lakka Switch and Android Switch.

 

Yes all games are full speed playable on Lakka and Android and the dev m4xw did N64 PSP and Dreamcast is doing it for native Switch, it'll be perfect or at least near perfect.

Yaba Sanshiro is perfect on PC it's laughable to compare it to the Wii Saturn emulator. Like I said you're out of the loop.

 

Well then congrats guys, 4 gens later, and we can finally emulate the Saturn on modern consoles. Perhaps that helps illustrate all the more why asking for full speed compatability with a system from only one gen earlier isn't always as simple as it may sound (which of course isn't to say that it can't be rather simple from one gen to the next, just depends on how different the architecture is).

 

lol it wasn't directed at you in general.

 

Also what do you mean by correcting? I wasn't wrong, Saturn emulation was a pain and only now 2 decades later are we getting decent emulation. In no way does that negatively affect my point, but only reinforces it.
