Actually, the X3 has
much better graphics processing. I'm not sure exactly what (other than the PXA263 processor) is different in the X3 than in the X5, but it makes a ton of difference. With emulators, especially SNES, I get a good ~20fps faster on the X3.
Most PPC games play the same as on the X5, but I have found one that does not. This game is GTS Racing Challenge by Astraware. It plays waaaaaay too fast on the X3, in fact it's too fast to the point that it is unplayable. The cars are moving entirely too fast to control properly. The game moves approximately 6x faster on the X3, as far as I can tell just using a standard stopwatch. It is more playable if you put the X3 in PowerSave mode, but is still way too fast to be enjoyable. Just as a note, I have informed the head PPC developer at Astraware of this, and he replied by saying that the developers of GTS Racing have been notified and are working on the problem.
I haven't found any other games than GTS Racing that run improperly on the X3. I've tried a very large selection of titles, and all run just fine. And as mentioned before games that were struggling on the X5, like SNES emulation, run much faster on the X3.
Hope this helps a little. :)
