The iPhone does have a 400 mHz processor. Stronger than the PSP. That means we could easily see PS2 graphics.

I wonder how they'd make GoW on the iPhone... lol.

Omg the iphone has 256mbs of ram. Holy shit more than the wii.

 

Are you sure? That seems VERY unlikely to me.

Anyway, though, the iPhone is shaping up to be MUCH more powerful than I thought it was. Interesting.


 I can't find anything official still looking ,but it does seem likely because it has to run an internet browser and an operating system similar to a pc. http://forums.intomobile.com/apple/791-how-much-ram-iphone-planned-have.html 

The last person seems to know what they are talking about though.

Dam! Then its possible for some GC graphics? !!!


I doubt it, unless the iPhone has a GPU.  You're likely to see more along the lines of PSP graphics.

 IT has a coprocessor to produce graphics. I think that might be considered a gpu just without vram and shaders.

 Probably not. For one, the iPhone runs a tailored version of OSX that eats up a lot of processing power. For another, mobile/laptop parts tend to be stripped of many of the features of fully-functional CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and so on. And finally, the iPhone isn't optimized for gaming as most game-centric devices are, as far as the OS and hardware configurations go.

 It's likely that the iPhone could do decent 3D, but Gamecube-level is a HUGE stretch.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 Wow. I never expected anything close to PS2 graphics on the iPhone.

PowerVR MBX 3D graphics co-processor. This is the name of the co-processor.

Not without a GPU we couldn't.
