RUMOR: Nintendo is working on a new Super FX Chip for GameBoy Advance, which will improve the quality of 3D graphics on the system. This move is to remain competitive with the upcoming portable systems such as Nokia N-Gage and Sony PlayStation Portable.</div>

If they are working on it, I doubt it had anything to do with the PSP or Nokia as likely the chip was in the works before they even knew of the development of the PSP at least.
