A hacker has pulled the Wii U apart andgiven some clarity on what he believes powers Nintendo\u2019s new console.<\/p>\n

The hacker, Marcan, is well-known among the hacking and hardware community, and has published stories on HackMii.com before.<\/p>\n

Marcan says that the Wii U CPU (which is powered by a three core IBM PowerPC 750) carries a clock speed of 1.24 GHz, while the GPU core is said to run at 550 MHz – which is based on an AMD Radeon 5000 series.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yes, the Wii U CPU is nothing to write home about, but don’t compare it clock per clock with a 360 and claim it’s much worse. It isn’t,\u201d Marcan said via Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4A Games developer (Metro: Last Light) recently said<\/a> that the Wii U CPU is \u201chorrible, slow\u201d.<\/p>\n
