Almost implies a customer, although for the life of me, I cannot figure out who it might be.
"Our goal was to accomplish second-generation (console) performance and first-generation cost," said Mitsuhiro Miyazaki, the project deputy manager for Renesas, based in Tokyo.
According to Miyazaki, the target specification for the platform is to achieve up to 1024 x 768 resolution, 10 million to 13 million vertices or 5 million to 6 million triangles per second, with up to 20 percent translucency per scene – in other words, anticipating a game where some of the polygons would be enhanced with transparency effects. That would place the SH3707 at somewhat over twice the performance of the Dreamcast, which could handle up to 3 million triangles per second. The SH3707 also has the capability of processing MPEG-1, -2, and -4 video and eight-channel PCM/ADCPM audio.

How would that be possible?! MBX isn't register compatible with series2.
Guden Oden said:So why would they capitalize on the DC moniker if the thing won't actually be DC compatible? That'd just be dumb.

1024x768 would be one bigass portable... Wonder if there could be a market for Tablet-form media/game player...If this is for portable use, a new player may actually have a chance.
