How does the 3DS compare to the PSP, power wise?

Vita smashin' all !!
Seriously why would you guys even bother ask such questions, PSP and 3DS are not from the same gen, they're not in competition, you should start leaning toward the current gen, or is Vita that DEAD ?

No, the Vita is that POWERFUL! A discussion of how the 3DS compares to the Vita, power wise, would be a joke. One has 4 mb of VRAM, the other has 128...

RAM =/= power. GPU-wise 3DS has shown to be quite powerful and I don't think the gap is that high in this specific matter, considering Resident Evil Revelations, one of the most impressive 3DS titles graphically-wise, is rendered at 800x480 if running in 2D mode(thanks to FSAA) while looking similar to Vita's best. Uncharted Vita, for example, is rendered at 720x408. CPU wise it's an entirely different matter, though, since 3DS's clockspeeds are not known and Vita's CPU uses a new architecture when compared to 3DS's.
