Yeah, but only up to a certain limit.  I find it hard to imagine cellphone
games which would require processor power comparable to current desktop
computers.  But of course, new technology often develops into something which
is hard to imagine a few years in advance.

I won't comment on DSP, for the simple reason that I have no idea what it is.

Really?  I thought the opposite was the case.  Another example of my poor
understanding of computer hardware, I suppose.
