Is the 3DS weaker than a Gamecube?

Its definitely weaker from a poly pushing+texture perspective. It has a more advanced GPU though so it can pull of tricks like bump mapping better then the gamecube.

Raw powerwise i think the 3ds is between the dreamcast and the ps2, but of course the shaders it utilises allows game like RE:Revaltion which looks like it should belong on the Vita.
