Besides, Europe gets "only" a quad-core, but with 1,9 GHz. That said, for emulation of the psp Smartphones would need much stronger GPUs. While a strong CPU sure helps, there are just operations that need a GPU to be processed efficiently. It is simply not possible with 100 % speed and sound at the moment. But even if it eventually will become a possibility one day, the battery would die fast as shit, because all components of the smartphone would run at full speed. So you're looking at a damn expensive piece of hardware that runs PSP Titles for like 30 Minutes. I think just buying a PSP or a Vita would be the better option. Even more in times of Smartphones without changeable batteries. |
Agreed, but still then in the next 2 years or less what if both battery and CPU power constraints are reduced? Aren't handhelds expected to be in the market for longer durations which means better smartphones and tablets over the time-frame.
