The PSP had nothing  to improve on though, but please show how conservative the NGP is?

It's conservative in the same way the PS3 was revolutionary. It uses an homogeneous and known architecture, really tested in phones/music players/tablets, only with more functional units.

The PS3 was not revolutionary, it was very powerful and loaed with technology. The NGP will be at least a Generation ahead of everyone else, it will bring graphics only seen on consoles before and no one  will able to come close for a while. 

It was revolutionary in it's concept. Heterogeneous processor,  with two different instructions sets, two different memory types, one of them serial, one of them parallel, at very different speeds and with very different latencies. That's revolutionary because it imposed a different approach to the development.

 

NGP will use a chip very similar to two A5's fused together, so a lot of developers will be familiar with it's architecture.

Well we don't actually know the clock rate of the GPU or CPU or RAM in the NGP so we can't really know yet just how powerful it is. But if reports of the  SGX543's power are true it is easaly 8-16x as powerful as the PSP's graphics chip depending on clock rate and the CPU the NGP uses will also likely be ~8 more powerful than the PSP that is a pretty big leap in performance for a handheld device that was already so far ahead of it's time.
