Sony PSP Processor Capped at 222mhz?
According to Games Radar, a Sony representative has admitted that the Sony PSP is capped at 222 mhz, even though the processor can do 333mhz. The speculation is this was required to have reasonable battery life or heat concerns. Remember the PS2 is 295mhz, so maybe the PSP really is more powerful than its console cousin. Either/or if this story is true, I'd be upset since the PSP specs do say 333mhz.While the specification of Sony's new handheld states the machine has a 333mhz capable processor sitting beneath its cool-looking exterior, the machine has been capped to just 222mhz, according to a Sony America representative speaking at the Games Developers Conference in San Francisco last month.
