AMD Wii U GPU: specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started Wii U GPU sales 18 November 2012. This is a desktop graphics card based on a TeraScale 2 architecture and made with 40 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 2 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 33 Watt.

Size and compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Wii U GPU and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	IGP
Width	IGP

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on Wii U GPU: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	DDR3
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB)
Memory clock speed	1600 MHz	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)
Memory bandwidth	12.8 GB/s	of 3276 (Aldebaran)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on Wii U GPU. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

No outputs

API support

APIs supported by Wii U GPU, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	N/A
Shader Model	5.0
OpenGL	N/A	of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A

Benchmark performance

Synthetic benchmark performance of Wii U GPU. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
