New Nintendo DSi To be As Fast As The Wii?

Topic:

Nintendo fanboys; prepare to start salivating. It looks like Iwata and his boys have finally found a way to set their handheld gaming devices above the iPhone. Since they can't match the versatility of a smartphone with something like the DS, Nintendo intends to attract consumers back to handheld gaming by offering them graphics quality that no iPhone game can compete with. Digital Foundry (via Electronista) reports that the new DSi will pack a Tegra 2 processor.

This new processor will mark a "colossal" jump in power and speed. How colossal? The new DSi could be just as fast as the Wii, with more support for visual effects. If true, this will mark the first time that a handset has been more powerful than a modern console.
