I believe if the clockspeed runs as per phones, it would be around PS3, technically speaking. CPU can go up to 1.5Ghz but it is only running 333mhz for most games, and some games can reach 444mhz by disabling the wifi. Problem is that Sony sets a 'power limit' to most their game, and it's very low, so low that CPU are only running 1/5th speed compared to phone that use. While the GPU is the same as what used in an iPad 3( the new iPad ), clockspeed is also much lower, hence the limitation on performance. I'd hope to see Sony open up the power limit and allow around double the clock speed that we have now. Then it would be interesting to see again what a Vita is capable of. I dont mind my Vita having ~3 hours of battery life, powerbanks are almost everywhere these days anyway

That's interesting to see, if Sony is still coming out with another iteration. I suspect it would be another handheld that would have a scaled matching performance to the PS4.5, or PS5

45nm process is one thing, the heat and the power draw for higher processor clock speed is increase exponentially. While i understand why Sony did this, I believe an option to allow user increase them to a 'super performance mode' with decrease battery life would also be a far better choice. Then more games can actually utilize this mode and we can get higher graphic/better performance. Like i said, I wouldnt really mind lower battery life, PS Vita battery life as it is now can last me for 2 or more play sessions, my concern is more towards the heat.

Let's hope custom vita firmware and allow us to eventually clock it to higher speed.

for your second statement, i believe Sony already declared that no more first party game for the Vita, which already means "we are not supporting Vita anymore with our first patty game", good thing is that it's still strong enough in japanese market for many companies to port games over.

this post is totally unrelated to piracy, more towards just sharing homebrew stuffs, if mod thinks that this is still violating the rules here, let me know and the post will be gone
not sure if anyone follows the PSV hack scene, but Henkaku PS Vita hack is already made on 3.60 few weeks back. Of course, there are tonnes of emulators emerging, but the best homebrew so far is Moonlight. Allows you to stream games from your PC if you are using a nVidia card. I've tested with Don't Starve and also Burnout: Paradise, both played out just nice, those that are still in FW 3.60 can go give it a try

all the keys are as it is( x360 controll will have the same key location, meaning X will be A, O will be B, etc.
R2 and L2 would be the top part of the rear touch pad on their respective side, and R3, L3 would be on the lower part of their respective side. So far tested a few games, all recognized as x360 controller. No crashes, and almost non noticeable input lag, only stutter rarely and recover within 1 second.

someone said that PS4 had a recent update, and the recent update is just to streamline some of the update to make sure both system are more consistent, some web engine and some internal stuffs.
