It's good to see some improvement with the PSP Go!. Put some more value in that price tag. But my question is if the extra processing power could affect games, like loading times and the like. If so, then the PSP Go! May be worth a second looking into for this consumer.

It could be used to improve performance, though my personal guess would be that it would be utilized for the ingame XMB.

That seems to be the logical case, but how much processor power would a ingame XMB take honestly? Isn't a jump of 30% a little excessive for something as small as a XMB, particularly a hardheld one that really shouldn't take up awhole lotta processing power to begin with? There's something else they plan to do with this extra power. I know it.

Depends on how much they want the ingame XMB to do I guess. Some of it could be used for giving games better performance, and some of it for ingame XMB. Although, I think all the rumored non-gaming applications for the Go might be allowed to use this.
