vaio said:Epic: Mobile to match game console powerDeveloper and 3D engine provider says phones are a 'bridge to the future' Epic Games VP Mark Rein believes that mobile devices will be comparable with consoles such as PS3 and Xbox 360 “within a few short years”. Speaking to ME sister site Develop, Rein offered praise for Tegra 2 – Nvidia’s latest system-on-a-chip for mobile devices – suggesting it would fit well with his own company's Unreal Engine 3. Rein said: “Tegra 2 isn’t ‘lower spec stuff... It is definitely about the future rather than the past. Tegra 2 features a high-speed dual-core architecture mated to a DX9-class GPU with a decent amount of memory and a good bus speed. “It is amazingly powerful for a mobile platform and performs well within the power range that you’d want for Unreal Engine 3, so it could be a good fit for our engine.” Rein said Tegra offers a bridge to the future of mobile game devices.
