The IPhone is still weaker than the Dreamcast

Isn't the 3DS slightly more powerful than the GameCube, which was more powerful than the Dreamcast?

I hope portable gaming hardware stays alive, though. As much as I'd like to play on consoles, they're more expensive and I generally have less time to play around with them.
