FCC Docs Reveal PSP Go Clock Speed Maxes Out at 480Mhz

[shummyr]

Some https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=460048&fcc_id=%27AK8PN1001A1%27 from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are suggesting that the new PSP Go may be packing more power under its sliding exterior than what Sony has officially revealed.

Contrary to official statements from Sony that peg the PSP Go's top clock frequency at 333 MHz, the FCC's test reports indicate that the PSP Go actually maxes out at 480 MHz.

Perhaps the extra power is for the in-game XMB. Games would likely still be locked at the 333MHz max for uniformity across all of the PSP SKUs.

The 480MHz max clock frequency is mentioned in page 3 of the Test Report 1 pdf above. The official tech specs can be viewed here.

Sadly it's still not worth the price tag, especially if it can't be hacked. I hope they don't go the way Nintendo did with releasing some games that only work with the DSi.

wow.. that sounds great! i may have to pick up one, im still a proud psp 1000 user.. cant wait till a exploit is available!

[tmaster]

does this mean we cant play pspgo games on psp1000 because it will run slower?

[semitope]

Possibly some games wont work or will just run slower. The mgs game coming up might be one to use the full speed of the Go and thus not work well on early psps; would make sense for sony to use that to push the Go. Its strange to me that there have been hardware changes between psp revisions like this. They keep revising instead of putting out a psp2 as if they never got the original psp and revisions right.
