I predict less powerful than the Vita's hardware.

It would be more expensive to do hardware weaker than Vita in 2017 or so. I'm expecting an equivalent to a modern budget phone SOC of that time. Something like Snapdragon 400 today. 

Um, Snapdragon 400 uses Adreno 305/306...which is around Vita.

You sure you were not thinking of Snapdragon 805 and Adreno 420 which is some 5-6x Vita?

I am saying that they would use a budget phone SOC in 2017. Snapdragon 400 is a budget phone SOC today. "Of that time" and "today" were the keywords there.
