What these handhelds run well
Each count is the number of handhelds with this chip rated as running that system well in the reviews we cite. A handheld without a review rating for a system is not counted, so low numbers for older systems usually mean untested, not unplayable. The chip alone does not decide it: software and cooling differ between models.
