I really like the capabilities of the 3DS for a dedicated handheld. I think Nintendo hit it on the nail in terms of matching two ARM11 dual-core CPU along with the PICA200(a GPU made for 3D). My only gripe as with the Wii U is the amount of RAM the system has. In addition to the 6MB of dedicated VRAM the 3DS only has an additional 128MB of system RAM for both OS and video. Nintendo really should have put at least 256MB on the 3DS (and at least 3GB on the Wii U) to really extend the systems capabilities for a few more years. Anyways, I got my LG Nexus 4 for web-browsing and I am happy with the visuals on games the 3DS has so far released. |
If you were to test the 128 MB FCRAM you would think it was much more then 300 MB of RAM, but in reality it's just 128 MB that is really efficient which might be an understatement about its effiencency.

then what is the main reason for the ineffective browser? Don't get me wrong, in terms of games the Vita and 3DS are like PS2 vs original Xbox where visuals don't matter as much as content. But functionally the 3DS just doesn't do great for web browsing...maybe/possibly due to the small 128MB system FCRAM that really should have been double of what it is for other functionality than just games!

I thought the VRAM takes care of browser, it is a multitasking app. 6 or so MB of VRAM would explain it.
