IGN: How Powerful is the NGP?

After years of anticipation the NGP has finally been revealed to the public, and it is easily one of the most powerful mobile products ever made. Packing a quad core CPU, as well as a dedicated quad core GPU, the NGP is capable of delivering PlayStation 3-quality graphics in mobile form. But just how powerful is it compared to Nintendo 3DS, previous Sony handhelds, and Apple's iPad and iPhone 4?

if Sony really wants to do this right here's how.
get Sony's most respected in house developers(ie nd,gg, sm studios,insomniac) plus some of the top 3rd party (bungie,epic,id,kojimapro,capc om) put them in a room and let them give Sony the direction of what they need vs what Sony can deliver at a price that the public can afford. and come up with a device and specs that all can work with.
in the past Sony has been accused of having hardware guys dumping systems into the laps of the software people saying here it is. see what u guys can come up with.

Well.. It's a ton more powerful than the 3DS.

Just sayin'

gamer20105585d ago

Yeah, it really is. In fact, it has so much power that it will have the lead in portable graphics for perhaps the next 5 years.

Fixed hardware with a surplus of graphical performance at the time of launch gives a huge advantage for many years. To illustrate this point consider the PSP's graphics which really weren't matched on other mobile devices until just recently.

The PSP came out way back in 2005 and some might argue that no iOS game looks as good as the best PSP games. Rage on iOS looks fantastic, but it also isn't very dynamic in terms of interaction with the environment or control of the camera.

NGP is a truly exciting device and I am very pleased at the direction Sony went with it.

AAACE55585d ago

Yes, powerful indeed! I plan on getting one, but I can't help but wonder how battery life will turn out because of all of that power.

They said the 3DS will last 4-5 hours. It looks like the NGP will be dam near 4 times as powerful. So i'm wondering if they have a special battery in the works. If it last 4-5 hours, i'm ok with that!

2+ ghz quad core processor can play crysis on med. LOL!

Ju5585d ago (Edited 5585d ago )

If that thing can run something like Uncharted I am sure it can run some form of "mobile crysis". That would probably look like the PS3 version of Crysis - which still can't match UC2 or KZ2/3.

klado5585d ago

No to mention, GPU quad with 800+... and 512 for Ram...it gotta be really la bombardare mi gente.

clrlite5585d ago (Edited 5585d ago )

LoL @ "one of the" most powerful....

It's a BEAST

Ju5585d ago

I loled at that too. Why not say what it is. It is the most powerful mobile device ever built - at least which we saw working today. Maybe until it launches NVidia can showcase a TegraIII-Quad. That would be equal, I guess. But that is not even scheduled before end of 2011 (prototypes).

jay25585d ago

Good luck Apple, and Nintendo.....At this rate Sony will be 2 consoles ahead before the next handheld touches those speeds.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
