'''Latte''' is the name of the MCM and SoC inside of the [[Wii U]]. It was based on the [[Wii Hardware/Hollywood|Hollywood]] SoC and [[Wii Hardware/Broadway|Broadway]] CPU. The Latte MCM and SoC contains multiple pieces of hardware all lumped into one. [[Nintendo]] claims that the Latte SoC is the [[Wii U Hardware/R700|Wii U's GPU]], however, this is not the case. The Latte SoC ''contains'' the GPU, but it is not, itself, the GPU.

The Latte SoC runs at 248MHz (243MHz or 162MHz in Back-Compat mode). The various hardware blocks inside run at various fractions of that speed.

There are multiple [[Wii U Hardware/Latte/Revisions|revisions]] of the Latte SoC with different functionality.

== Latte (MCM) contents ==
The Latte MCM contains the following:
* Latte SoC @ 248MHz
* Espresso CPU @ 1.2GHz (248MHz bus clock with 5x core multiplier)
* [[Hardware/SEEPROM|SEEPROM]]

== Latte (SoC) contents ===
The Latte SoC contains the following:
* [[Hardware/USB|USB (3x EHCI, and 4x OHCI) Host Controllers]]
* 4x [[Hardware/SDHCI|SD Host Controller]] (SDHCI0 => SD Card slot, SDHCI1 => internal [[Wii U Hardware/BCM43362|Wi-Fi Card]], SDHCI2 => [[Wii U Hardware/eMMC|eMMC]])
* The [[Wii U Hardware/Starbuck|Starbuck]] ARM security co-processor @ SoC clock
* [[Wii U Hardware/R700|AMD Radeon "R700"-class GPU]]
* Improved 60x bus "60xe" with more width
* All hardware contained in the [[Hollywood]] SoC (and thus, also the [[Flipper]] SoC)
