If these are confirmed then it's awesome! PSP has 3 million more triangles per second...
But 3DS still has them beat by a longshot on everything else.

pachura said:for nintendos sake, i really hope they put something in the 3ds with more than 400mhz. thats only a little more than what the psp is putting out already, and the 3ds is going to have to put out about twice the pixels to render the 3d. =\Overlord Nadrian said:pachura said:Yeah... noone confirmed that PICA200 will run at 400 MHz... they might as well use PICA200 LITE @ 100 MHz.
But why would they do that?
PICA200 LITE vs. PICA200: cheaper.
100/200 MHz vs. 400: less power consumption, less heat produced.
There's such a thing as too cheap, and not powerful enough; even for Nintendo.
Besides, DMP's press release about the 3DS specifically stated that it was using the Pica200, with their proprietary MAESTRO extension thing. The Lite doesn't have that feature.

when I look at the screenshots for Nintendogs+Cats and Star Fox 3D, I think, well, this 3DS might not have such a massive polygon count. But when I see Samurai Warriors, I see that the polygon count is larger, and that is goodPainguy said:1. 400mhz isnt that much on the PICA architecture
2. Remeber that even though Polygon count is slightly lower some architectures have a harder time achieving their peak over others. Im sure that the 3DS will have a higher polygon count than the majority of PSP games. It already seems that way. When u apply shaders, textures etc these numbers can change drastically depending on how the hardware can handle everything.
3.Iphone doesnt even have a great GPU. Its featureset is lack luster compared to the 3DS, and it cant achieve that level of detail as easily as the 3DS because its not optimized for it
Seriously? What kind of comparison is this?Mana94 said:

I heard they were actually going to use a Raul Pica...raulpica said:And I haven't seen anything about a (serious) source stating that the 3DS uses a DMP Pica.

I won't ever trust someone who sums up the two screen resolutions in a total. That's just plainly stupid.

I had a post typed up almost exactly like this earlier, then work came to my desk and i forgot about it. Thanks for using the All-Mods-One-Mind ability to post for me.
Mod hivemind!

The manufacturer of said hardware doesn't count as a "serious" source? They seem to be a legit company... it'd be foolish of them to make such an announcement if it weren't true; plus Nintendo would've denied it by now if they didn't have their permission for the announcement.

altorn said:who cares if the 3DS can do fillrate of 61.0billion per second? it's polygonal capability is still less than the PSP's by a few millions. (WELL THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE "UNOFFICIAL" BLOG YOU GOT THAT FROM)
anyway, I will still buy the 3DS for its games.
