If you believe a Google translation of a rumor on a foreign language web site, the next PSP may utilize four cores which would give it more processing and graphics power than the original Xbox console.

The English version of Eurogamer claims the translation suggests that a second PSP, which they call PSP2 , and not the PSPgo will have the quad core iteration of the low-power SGX543MP chip, code named “hydra.”

So you can decide for yourself, here’s how Google translates the page followed by the actual entry:

We refer to PSP2, but a hardware that has not yet been officially announced for PSP and should happen in the future PSPGo.

Nos referimos a PSP2, un hardware que aunque todavía no ha sido anunciado oficialmente debería suceder a PSP y PSPGo en un futuro

.
If someone offer an accurate translation, please let us know.

The English version of Eurogamer points out that the possible processor is the same technology currently used in some netbooks and the chip acts as both the CPU and the graphics processor. That would increase the system’s capabilities while decreasing energy requirements. Not a bad idea for any game system.

Just remember, a rumor is unconfirmed information. Sony has yet to confirm or deny the use of any quad core tech in a handheld game system.
