I think soon we ll see Smart Phones that are faster than the Playstation 3.

There have been smartphones faster than the PS3 for a while now.

AFAIK no there hasnt been. Not in ability to run things, and not theoretically either.

Theres some tablet chips that are theoretically faster than the PS3, but those use around 10-15watts (not the 2-3w of a smartphone).

Marketing departments have claimed Smart phones have console quality image effects ect, but its all just hot air.

Nvidia love to make headlines like that, why? because they want to sell their chips.

 

So far there isnt a smartphone chip (running at 2-3watts), that can beat the PS3 in terms of GPU performance.
