While all the rumors so far have indicated that the PSP2 will be about as powerful as PS3, newly leaked specifications for Sony's next portable would seem to indicate that it could be on par with Apple's next iteration of the iPhone and iPad devices.
Interesting rumor! I think if it's true, then it's bad news for Sony. If you can have a device that's just as powerful but with access to App Store, why would you get a PSP2 instead?
yup im buying psp2
Sony is using the cell for cpu and tegra for gpu according to all the other recent rumors.
The rumoured specs suggest that the psp2 will feature a quad core cpu as opposed to the dual core planned for the iphone. Also the psp2 will feature a custom GPU and more ram. They wont be in the same league
I'm waiting for PSP2 I think. Nintendo hasn't shown any proof that the 3DS will be much more powerful than the original PSP and at $250(PSP launch price), the PSP2 will not be much more expensive. I might pick up a 3DS too later on if I can find a good deal.
IPad and IPhone are not designed for top notch gaming performance. PSP2 will be designed to last 5+ years and run serious games, so expect it to be a beast.
