As a Sony fan I wish they had never made Vita

You do understand you can't determine polygons like that right -_-

PS Vita GPU:

First announced in January, Imagination Technologies' Series5XT SGX IP is based on a second-generation Universal Scalable Shader Engine (USSE2), delivering "significantly better throughput" than the earlier Series5 USSE shader engine. It's said the architecture scales from 100MHz to 400MHz "and beyond," delivering performance of 35 million polygons per second and a pixel fill rate of one gigapixel per second when running at a mid-range 200MHz.

 

Well, I gues this explains how some sites claim that the PS Vita only does 33 million & 3DS only does 15.8 million.

 

But the PS Vita GPU is said to do up to 35 million, and the 3DS GPU is said to do 15.3 million.

 

Well, I guess at the end, either the PS Vita only does 35 million polygons & 3DS only does 15.3 million polygons, OR there is some info we are missing about GPUs in general.

 

But I figure Nano Assault & Nano Assault EX (coming to eShop for $7.99) screenshots can tell us that the 3DS does have shader cores of PS3/360 amount. But the Wii U has like at least 486 shader cores & over 1,000 GFLOPs.

 

Well, thanks anyways Chark.

That's all fine and dandy....but the Vita has 4 of those cores, not just one. So here's math. 35 million x 4 cores = 140 million x 95% efficiency = 133 million

You can't determine shader cores from screenshots.

This info comes from HaloDust, he's good at this stuff but just assume these ballparks anyway. The E6760 is the GPU confirmed by AMD, I bolded it. As you see, it has 288 shader cores and 576 GFLOPS. So at least 2x more powerful than PS3/360 but with modern architecture and advanced shaders and other tech. Some of these figures are theoretical, especially on the PS3 and then 360. All info suggests Wii U has 400 to 600 GFLOPS. Anything higher are from old rumors that suggested the CPU was 3 GHZ but we now know it is 1.6 GHZ.
