Leaked full specs sheet for Wii U

If the leaks on the purported specs of the Wii U are true, it seems like a decent machine to run HD games on! Hit the jump for the full specifications sheet from VG Leaks


Main Application Processor

  • PowerPC architecture.
  • Three cores (fully coherent).
  • 3MB aggregate L2 Cache size.
