He also spoke about L1 and L2 cache, which does help, but the whole pastebin focuses on "bits" and the word length. "Bits" are not a measurement of processing power, spyro3DSguy sounds like someone from the Bit War era when everyone boasted about how their systems are 16/32/64-bit when at the end of the day they were comparable.
I'm not saying that 64-bit isn't a groundbreaking change that brings improved performance, I'm saying that a 64-bit downclocked mobile processor won't necessarily win a fight against a full-scale 32-bit processor just because it's 64-bit.
Then provide proof on how the Gekko produces more operations/instructions than the Arm11 instead of just using "full-scale" as opposed to "low power" as a benchmark let alone spec sheet for how they compare. "downclocked" doesn't mean much if the Arm more efficient, has more cache, better bandwidth, longer pipelines, etc. Any info on the external bus, cache deficiency, branch prediction, pipeline, bandwidth, etc. Then we can make a proper judgment.
I don't have any proof at all beyond what can be calculated, which is the DMIPS values of both chips. Since that measurement is unreliable, neither one of us wants to accept it as definite, but it's the only one we have. Anything else is just fluff that has no comparative value whatsoever, which is why I personally refrain from making a definite judgement. You on the other hand seem to go out of your way to hear something that reflects your views. Sorry, I won't be your echo chamber - I disagree with what you're saying, I'd like to see a proper benchmark of the two CPU's first. As it stands today and with the available data in mind, saying that the 3DS' CPU is the stronger one seems outlandish, but there's no evidence to confirm or deny that.
As far as RE5 is concerned, it's an MT Framework game, Capcom probably copy-pasted resources into the Lite version of the engine, there you go. Don't know the details about Conduit, but it uses a pretty efficient engine. All in all, the games the system runs has f*ck all to do with a CPU comparison, you might as well say that the Wii is just as powerful as an Xbox 360 because it ran Dead Rising.
I'm willing to agree on that - we have too little factual data to make an educated judgement, so we should focus on what the hardware can do rather than on the raw metal performance which we can't (or rather, haven't) measure.

Quite the opposite, but as I've said earlier, I pretty much finished talking - I've spoken my mind already.
I don't think you understand what they meant when they said they got it running non the 3DS. The entire point of testing RE5 on the 3DS was to see if it was a powerful enough platform for other games they were planning like Mercenaries 3D and Revelations. I don't even know how you managed arrived to the conclusion that Capcom ran a slow, buggy, blocky port, and then decided to port more console-level RE games to a platform that couldn't handle it well. Please go a read the story again.
The idea was to use the assets they already have and use them to test MT Framework Lite on a new platform. There was no reason to develop new assets for a tech demo - they used assets they already had because it's more cost-effective.
