"lol this just proves the PSP is a bit stronger then the PS2.. these are amazing."

ROFL...ya right. Like the PSP could pull FFX



Well, the processor is slightly faster (if they unlock the full potential like homebrew apps have), same amount of RAM, and slightly faster GPU. I thnk the GPU may have half the embedded RAM, however (4 to 2). This is according to clock speeds, so if you picky people want to point out which architecture is better, go ahead. I think it's pretty close.


Sony have restricted the CPU to up to 222Mhz (only 2/3 of the possible speed), this could be a restriction which could prevent the PSP being graphically better than the PS2....but I reckon at some stage over the next few years, Sony will remove the block and introduce a longerlife battery to help combat the battery drain is will impose.

I reckon we are now seeing what can be done on the PSP and it will only get better.


If you use custom firmware you can run anything at 333MHz.  I believe they limited it to save battery power, but I know that Size Matters raised it.  I believe it was to 266MHz.  God of War might very well raise it to 333MHz which is fine with me since I run games from my memory stick anyway and have an extra battery pack with my case (X2 battery pack, too, which lasts 7 hours or so playing games/movies).

I agree that the potential is just now being approached.  Portable Ops, Size Matters, and Chains are really showing that potential.  I assume the 2 Final Fantasy PSP games will do the same.
