Re:Sony cheating on CPU frequency (Score 1)

I have no idea what is the truth about the capabilities itself. A fact is SONY markets its PSP as a machine with a CPU running at 333 Mhz, all PSP tech specs describe available everywhere say it. Developers have access to one function to adapt the CPU frequency of the PSP, however this function parameter is capped to 222Mhz. So even if it would be possible to make some code to run at 333Mhz, SONY does not allow developpers to do it. So many questions: 1/ Can the PSP really run at 333Mhz? Is Sony trying to hide their high first generation defect rate by lowering the frequency of the CPU. If there are any problems with the first machines, then if next gen software is allowed to run at 333mhz then the software will not run on the first gen PSPs? 2/ If it can really run at 333Mhz, even if switching to those speed would consume much more power, should not it be the choice of developers to chose the balance between game speed and battery life?
