Wii U CPU + GPU clock speeds increased? Is it even possible?

I've noticed the OS almost seems to run too fast, the animations and sounds for loading Miiverse on initial startup sound wrong.

That said, if things really have improved, we would need more rigorous analysis to see if there really is an in-game difference.

They can just have optimized the OS to use less resourse (CPU, CPU, Memory) and became faster... that's happened with the PS3 and 360 OS too.

Ca Nintendo increase the clock? Yes.
They will do that? Unlikely.
3Ghz+? Impossible.

I agree that that is more likely the case, and that the more optimized OS code could improve Wii U performance because it isn't hogging as much resources all the time (and could possibly free up more RAM for games to use, as well)

I doubt that Nintendo increased the clock speed (as that meant they were holding it back deliberately in the first place, and why would they do that?) unless the new update has made the OS so much easier on the system that they just have less heat in general and can afford to up-clock a little (though not to the degree suggested by the OP)

 

The OS was definitely a bigger mess than anyone let on (except those enduring the terrible install times) if this is all the case.

I think that if nintendo did increase the clock speed, then the system was designed for it in the first place. the only reason that i can see for doing it  is to mess up with the competition.
