There's no way Nintendo would have purposefully underclocked it so much just to do this later. They don't even publish these types of tech info anymore and therefore would gain nothing from doing such a design. Plus if at 1.x they were hitting 32w of peak of 45w... then a 3.x would surely push beyond what it could do. I'd wait for better sources. |
While I agree that Nintendo could not increase the clock rate by anywhere near that much, the 32w usage is for the whole system, not just the processor. In theory, if the processor is that efficient, you could nearly double the speed with the extra power left over. As I've said in another post though, it wold not be like Nintendo at all to do this.
Stop hating and start playing.
