I posted this in the other thread mistakenly, so I will ask it here (I'm going through the older posts now too..)
Did we ever reach a consensus as to where the Vita stands vis a vis the consoles in terms of performance?
It's Cortex A9 Quad and SGX543MP4+ (x4)? It can seemingly push out games that are very close to PS3 quality.. And looking over the specs of the SGX it seems that it is a very close match if not slightly superior to the RSX.. And that's assuming the frequency is only 200Mhz base and not higher.
The machine also targets a considerably lower resolution and has 25% more RAM*.. And should have smaller buffers all around. Using the carts probably helps a good deal too- I cannot imagine the read speeds are anywhere close to as slow as DVD/BD-ROM.
*Of course, the actual OS resource levels are still an unknown apart from taking one of the cores away from the A9 Cortex Quad.
