Points: 8.60 Donate | | | PS2 Vs. PSP (Technicals) PS2 (EMOTION ENGINE)
CPU
- MIPS IV-subset, 128-bit SIMD, 24KB cache
- A few co-processors
- 300MHz
- 6.2 GFLOPS
GPU
- 150MHz
- 38.4 gigabytes per second eDRAM bandwidth (19.2 GB/s in each direction)
- 2.4 gigapixels per second (no texture)
- 75 million polygons per second (small polygon) PSP
CPU
- MIPS R4000 32-Bit Core, 128 bits bus
- 333MHz @ 1.2V
- 2.6 GFlops
GPU
- 166MHz
- 5.3 gigabytes per second (either way? don't know)
- 664 million pixels per second
- 33 million polygons per second
The PSP may have a higher clock speed, but superior technology and high powered architecture makes the PS2 a faster machine. Still, with the PSP producing graphics at a much lower resolution, it is very appropriate.
I think the PSP looks a HEAP better than the original PSX, and only moderately worse than the PS2 (probably coz u can't notice aliased edges as much on the smaller screens). And, of course, the rendering engine for the PS2 (having more pixel pipelines too) provides very pretty effects as compared to basic PSP graphics.
In my opinion, the PSP reminds me of the days of Glide graphics (3DFX Voodoo cards)
