"Underclocking is the practice of modifying a microprocessor's speed settings to run at a lower clock speed than the manufacturer's specification."

Sony modified the speed of a processor rated to run at 333 MHz to conserve the battery, ergo they underclocked it. QED.

The fact of the matter is that the market droids didn't want the PSP to have a remarkably shorter battery life than the DS when it first came out, which would have been true if the AAA games used the CPU at full speed. Simple as that.]]>Jun 23rd 2007 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/
It has nothing to do with the firmware update 3.50 either. The Sony-supplied kernel *libraries* given to developers merely didn't let you select a speed higher than 222mhz when you wanted to change the processor speed. The latest game libraries do. On any firware that you can run unsigned code, you can effectively set the processor speed up to 333mhz, going back to firmware 1.0.]]>Jun 24th 2007 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/

I don't give a damn where I read it. Sony's stance on homebrew makes it extremely likely that they would make a claim like that, so I had no reason to doubt it. I really don't have time to go research and validate every news post I read on a website. That's why I use the damn websites and don't dig up the news personally!

This is why I never bother posting on these damn sites. Just make a passing comment and someone jumps on you like it's some human rights crisis or something.]]>Jun 26th 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/i got more mhz bitch]]>Jun 23rd 2007 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/
Personally, I'll stick with my DS. I bought my PSP 3 years ago and have 2 games for it. I bought my DS 1 year ago and I have 8 games for it. Neither system is absolutely perfect, but the DS is MUCH closer to it.]]>Jun 23rd 2007 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/

If its plugged in and charging, high speed cpu.

Using its battery, your choice.]]>Jun 24th 2007 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/Jun 25th 2007 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/23/psp-clockspeed-upped-to-333mhz-after-3-50-firmware-update/Jun 26th 2007 8:17AM
