Oh god, more Kaizar statistics. 
I don't think firmware updates will have much of an effect on battery life, and I don't think there are many things SONY can underclock to save power.

Would you want any future firmware updates for Vita to increase Battery Life instead? | |||
| Yes, in 1 or so updates. | 25 | 55.56% | |
| No, I just want the PS Vi... | 20 | 44.44% | |
| Total: | 45 | ||

I think the most reliable source I heard is that the PS Vita has a 1.2 GHz 4-core CPU and that the 3DS has a 1.8 GHz 2-core CPU, but Wikipedia currently says that they both have 1 GHz CPU (4-core Vita & 2-core 3DS) And yeah, I know they can increase both with one firmware update, but I want a big swoop like the 4.3.0-10U Firmware. But I was hoping that the 4.5.0-10U firmware update was going to be both battery life & CPU increase, but it only increased the CPU dramatically compare to the other Firmware updates. |
umm no The 3DS has an Arm 11
dual core CPU and each core is no where near 1.8 GHz. You are trying to put out bogus info yet again, when i already provided to you once again proof!.
FIRST OF ALL
The 3DS cannot have a 1.8 GHz Arm 11!
ARM 11
Straight from ARM:
It delivers extreme low power and a range of performance from 350 MHz in small area designs up to 1 GHz in speed-optimized designs in 45 and 65 nm

As i showed you before
The 3DS Has
ARM11 MPCore 2x 268MHz & 2x VFP Co-Processor
http://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Hardware
And
Yes battery Life can be increased within limits though

I AM BOLO

If that's true, why do so many people complain about the battery life of the 3DS and Vita? I think people still care about battery life because it limits their gameplay time and if you have to wait a few hours to play again, that becomes an issue for people if they can only play for 4-5 hours before recharge. Also, if your a big traveler like me you need a game system to last as long as possible. Even with ac adapter chargers since the GBA SP its still a big issue with people.


| fillet said: You're just making a world of make believe for yourself, putting "LOL" at the end of it doesn't make it anymore true. The PSP CPU spec was alwasy designed to run at 333mhz, it's a 333mhz CPU. It was artificially limited to 222mhz later allowed to run at 333mhz to get some of the top games near the end of it's life running well at the expense of some battery life. There's no magic tricks. |
100% true
the MIPS 4000 dual core chip inside the PSP was rated 333 Mhz, Sony down clocked it to offset battery consumption than as the PSP slim came out they increased the the clock speed back to where it was rated from, also increasing the on board system ram from 32 MB in the PSP 1000 to the 64 MB od system Ram that was in the PSP Slim. the MIPS 4000 GPU still remained 4 MB of dedicated GPU ram though.

You're trying to reason with a guy who dismissed ARM itself as an "unreliable source", while he repeatedly links a Wikipedia article, simply lists off features of the 3DS over and over, and gives totally inaccurate numbers. Plus Hz is not a measurement of power consumption and consoles do not simply "have x million polygons".
Can we close this thread or something?

Vita has "Near". It is pretty much the same thing as Street Pass. I don't even know what to say to that last half of your comment. Good for you? Enjoy our 3D videos. |
That's nice to hear about near, but I wasn't bragging.
And I only mention the 3D videos to explain why the 3DS downloads hundreds of MB in videos in the background while downloading firmware updates and other stuff in the background while gaming (also while watching Netflix and using other apps)

If the CPU was 250 MHz or so (but under 300 MHz) 2-core then the battery life would be 12 hours or more, on the pre-install firmware on the 3DS.
And the 3DS can download over 300 MB of video directly within App within around 5 minutes using b/g wireless (every single time in my experience using 15 MB a second Home Wi-Fi)
And the eShop streams 120 refresh rate 3D videos (60 fps per video image) in fine quality.
So explain how with your 3Dbrew.org VS. Wikipedia.org
Heh I didn't notice. I just play until charge is empty and recharge when I have to.

Yes, for me it isn't such a big deal because I usually play more hours at home, when I'm out I just play quick sessions. Anyway, we won't see a improvement bigger than 30% only with software. Best battery life would demand bigger handhelds to fit bigger batteries. Vita is already pretty big and is thicker than other mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), so we will have to wait for more efficient batteries.
we already went over this with you back in feb, me and a few other's you were quite wrong than , and you are quite wrong now:
