That doesn't mean Nintendo will go for it. Wii showed that they will go for something surprisingly weak for reasons that have nothing to do with fabrication cost.

Uhh how do you mean? Because the gba is more powerfull than the snes and the DS is more powerfull than the n64 I think.
I meant to say/joke that depending on the timeframe and the budget, nintendo can ship a NDS2 with performance near the wii
...and what if they use a low power version of the yet low power cpu in the wii?
i know that it's a simple G3 derived cpu from ibm that everyone can buy (well... kind of...)
Considering cost/size/power/thermal budget, can be a solution if they go from the actual 90nm to low volt lower clock 45/32nm soi hightK?

The GBA didn't come out around SNES launch, and the DS didn't come out during N64 era either. Now the DS 2 or whatever it'll be called will likely be out within the Wii's lifetime.
Uhhh... what? What's the evidence for that? :|

I am sorry, but I miss how this makes the iPhone's MBX Lite clock at nearly 100 MHz unless the definition of similarly is stretched really thin
. Typo?Edit: unless the OMAP2420 devices have more pixel pipelines (thus higher fill-rate), for example 2x the pipelines an MBX Lite has, and still the iPhone's MBX lite scores very similarly suggesting that it makes up for the lack of pixel pipeline with a higher clock-speed.
Right ?

Right.
OMAP2420 uses the full MBX, not the Lite pipeline rated at 2 clocks per pixel.
Actually, after relooking at the specific measurements taken by GLBenchmark, I don't think they necessarily indicate anything about a clock speed difference between the iPhone and OMAP2420 devices.

The clock speeds of the iphone's mbx lite and omap2420 mbx seem to be the same (50MHz) judging by the benchmark results. Omap2420's are giving fill rates ranging from 30k-58k pixels, while iphone is only giving 24k-26k pixels. In fact, it seems that iphone's driver for the GPU are more stable since the fill rate is closer to the clock speed than omap's.
So wait, the iPhone vaunted to be more powerful then NDS and PSP combined has a lower fillrate then NDS alone?
Yea that's what I meant - lots of paralel processors clustered together, PSP hw layout is pretty simplistic in comparison.
I think 25k pixels is the raw fillrate. Effective fillrate should be much higher. Anyways, even if the iphone has a lower fillrate than NDS, at least it has a much higher polygon throughput. I don't think iPhone is more powerful than the PSP even alone, but overall it should have better image quality (not draw distance) given the free bilinear filtering and FSAA.
yeah, but a lot harder to emulate.
