Wii U "Latte" GPU details revealed

[Guild McCommunist]

This costs $2500. But they did if for free. They are currently doing a CPU scan too.

We don't have a 3DS one yet and it's been out for nearly two years.

My post was 100% pun set up and execution and 0% serious for the record.

Took them a while to finally figure out the specs, but you know what they say, better latte then never.

Fixed that for you there.
By official means, Ninty themselves are STILL pretty hush hush about the specs on this thing.

Right. I just wanted to get it out there anyway. It's expensive usually.

I'm really curious to know what mysteries contain all those unexplained "blocks" in the GPU, I guess some of them are likely to be there for Hollywood retro-compatibility.

Also, I've heard there is a dual core arm CPU in there, I wonder how powerful it is, and if it handle the whole OS, leaving the cpu free for gaming, like the Wii.

By the way there's a mistake on the first post, they didn't purchased the die photo, they planned to but in the end chipworks gave it for free.

My understanding was Nintendo had used chip works to get photos done already. They needed them for patent reasons, having had lost their own photos. And a loop hole in the contract let chip works release them.

lol what? This is between neogaf and chipworks. Neogaf community raised the money and paid towards the GPU photo, but they got a refund back because chipworks insisted they won't charge them this time and got a full feedback from there too explaining the info.

Wow, they must've said "Thanks a latte" to Chipworks.

Actually, no. A few members on Neogaf raised $200 to get a photo of the GPU. Chipworks realizing that the photo that they would been given would have been useless in terms of actual information took the initiative of making an actual die photo that would normally cost $2500 and giving it to the users with one of their employees doing a simple observation on it. They didn't get a refund.

If there's anything to be taken from this, it's that Chipworks did a latte work.

(A latte) Bad coffee puns, (a latte) bad coffee puns everywhere!

And they seem to still have latte more work to do.

Ok, enough...
