ARM925@104Mhz how does it performs?
This is the CPU of new nokia n-gage, I think it's a lot slower than xscale and even strongARM@206, is this so or what else?

Im pretty sure tomb raider is coming out for n-gage because The area were I saw this n-gage was not under n-gage area but was a stand that was showing there new game .. which was tomb raider. I think I also saw some stuff about it on IGN or something. I will look around lata and see if I find any a link. Dan's right about it though, it looked like crap. I believe at the time it was still in beta (hopefully).

And how can you even tell on a 160x120 256color 2.5"x1.7" screen?

Im sick of gba and gba sp and the n-gage crap. Yeah im a big gamer but I don't want to spend 100 bucks on some piece of crap plastic shit that has games made for 6 year olds. Yeah gba might have some good games .. eh not sure what they are but I guess theres at lest 1 good one , but It should NOT be compaired in any way to ppc. Even in a gaming aspect the gba is a horrible compairent to ppc. Yeah yeah it gets good speed on games you pay 50 bucks for but if I was to change the graphic level on quake I could get the same .. I mean sure gba is 32bit and sure people would like to think its compaire able to psx or ppc but its not! Even golden sun the best graphic's yet for gba doesnt even come close to something like ff7. Eh and the thing is with this new pxa255 who's! Maybe we will be getting 20fps on psx. The thing is if we had that many programers working on ppc it we would be getting the same kinds of speed and huge amount of software.

Oh please. GBA is superior for gaming, hands down. I have no clue why you used FF7 as a point of comparison.

To sum it up, most of that post is sheer ignorance. For the price of a decent PPC, $300, you could buy a GBA, and about 5 professional games. If you bought the PPC solely for gaming, you sir are an idiot.

That 20 FPS stuff is also completly unfounded.

Those are simply the facts. The GBA is a dedicated gaming machine. The PPC is not.

Well, a PPC DOES allow you to play games in situations where either you couldn't do so with a GBA or you'd look like a dork if you did.

by **sponge** » Apr 22, 2003 @ 3:04am

Yea, but that doesn't make the PPC whip the GBA's ass gaming-wise.

by **damian** » Apr 22, 2003 @ 3:05am

I never said it did.
