Computer processing power just keeps getting more powerful with each passing day. First, computers were slow, single processor systems; then, dual processors were introduced; next, we have dual and quad cores in a single processor. We now even have multiprocessors with multicores each.
But the most interesting thing is that this trend kind of trickled down to portable devices. According to Engadget, the Nintendo 3DS spec is rumored to include two separate 266MHz ARM11 processors. Interesting, isn’t it. There is a huge jump in clock speed from the earlier models.
Nintendo 3DS is not the only device based on the ARM11 architecture. Other devices utilizing the same architecture are:
- iPhone (original and 3G)
- iPod touch (first two generations)
- Amazon Kindles
- Palm Pixi
- a plethora of Nokia handsets
- Kin One
- Zune HD
