Maybe it looks different in person
333mhz MIPS cpu's are pretty damned fast, usually competing with x86 CPU's having 2-3x the mhz. I believe the PS2 had similar seemingly-starved specs. The internals of the Emotion Engine make for an interesting read (see Wikipedia, and the EE whitepaper roaming around). It's quite a freaky CPU, even to CPU engineers. > Yeah, but it has the 333 MHz CPU, the 166 MHz video CPU, and the Emotion > Engine.

I don't believe the PSP utilizes the Emotion Engine. I believe that the dual core MIPS cpu "takes its place". _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
