While not confirmed, I would guess hardware manufacturers can unlock this only for their first party studios, to make their exclusives look beter. I dont know much of anything about computer engineering but this isnt the only case. As the gen goes on the os/oses should drastically reduce freeing up ram as well. |
They can unlock the clock of any component via firmware... MS did that with Xbone... they already was manufacturing Xbone when in August they choose to increase the clock... they just updated the firmware and did test to see if the clock was stable.
It is true for first and third-parties... they just need a SDK firmware update too.
To be fair I really wanted Sony to choose a clock more inline with 1.8Ghz for CPU and 900Mhz for GPU... it will give a really good boost in performance.
