If you click the link PowerVR MBX 3D graphics co-processor. it describes the co-processors. The MBX 3D is the name of the iphones.


This is actually a rather powerful little bugger, now that I know about it. There was PowerVR hardware in the Dreamcast, and I imagine the MBX is more powerful than that was. Because of their tile-based rendering architecture, PowerVR hardware tends to have modest specs, but results comparable to hardware with double those specs.


 No wonder it is so expensive. It is very advance for a handheld. SO what do you compare it to ps2,Gamecube,Xbox. 


 

It's probably closer to a PS2 from what I've heard, but...

Anyway, so these revelations about the system's power are kind of surprising (at least to me.) It seems that the potential for games is even higher than I thought. Maybe they won't have to release a dedicated gaming system, if the iPhone game business takes off they could start to market it as a game/iPhone hybrid.
