PSP Go processor more than 40% faster than original
Joystiq — ... can go up to 480MHz. It's unclear what the added processor power will be used for. It may be necessary for PSP Go-specific features, like in-game XMB. But will it be used in more traditional gaming applications? If so, could we possibly see PSP Go-exclusive games? Perhaps. Nintendo has released a very small number of applications exclusively for the upgraded DSi, which also features a much beefier processor than its predecessor so there's portable precedence. [Via Sony Insider] PSP Go processor more than 40% faster than original ...

Sony restricts PSPgo processor’s clock speed
Tech Ticker — ... hackers. Sony Insider unearthed a FCC filing of PSPgo (also referred PSP-N1001) that reveals the processor clock speed of the console. The official specs suggest 333MHz but in reality the maximum clock speed supported by PSPgo is 480MHz, meaning that the current CPU speed is underclocked. This definitely is good news for those going for the console because there’s a high probability Sony might open it up to via a firmware update later on. FCC Filing [Via SonyInsider] Share on: ...

PSP Go Could Run Faster
Technologizer — ... dug up by Sony Insider.

Sony hasn’t commented on the discovery — enjoying the holiday, perhaps. ...

Why Sony's PSP Go speed boost won't up the eye candy
Ars Technica — SonyInsider dug up an FCC filing that indicates that the forthcoming PSP Go will have a significantly faster top processor speed than than current PSP models. Specifically, the Go's CPU can clock up to 480MHz, compared to the 333MHz speed of the existing models. The site ends the post by asking the obvious question: "What will a 480MHz PSP Go bring to the table?" I suspect the answer to this is, "Nothing that hasn't already been announced." Let me explain.

PSP Go: faster under the hood, but you probably won’t notice
CrunchGear — In addition to a Mylo-esque physique and UMD-less guts, it seems that the PSP Go has a significantly improved CPU. What a pleasant surprise! Of course, this isn’t leading to some games having a “turbo mode” or any other crazy ideas you might have — it’s just making the whole PSP experience that much more responsive. The boost from 333MHz to a potential 480MHz is unlikely to affect games except in CPU-only operations, like decompressing textures or switching files in and out of RAM, that kind of thing. I’m ...
