Sony clocks up the PSP Go processor
UMD-less and smaller screen aside, the worst kept secret at this year's E3 gaming convention the PSP Go, could become the hottest gaming device, literally.
After the iPhone 3GS similarly felt the heat over sporting a sunshine-unfriendly frame, the latest instalment of Sony’s handheld gaming range could potentially be facing similar heat-inducing issues.
With capabilities for the Go to reach a maximum clock frequency of 480Mhz, gaming should be the most seamless and smooth running ever seen on a PSP console. While the new processing power should also deliver similar Apple iPhone 3GS-like speed internet browsing, it could well come at an expense with the PSP Go likely to feel like a portable iron in your hands after a gaming session.
A considerable increase on the 333Mhz of the current PSP, the processor life of the original PSP began at 222MHz owing to concerns of overheating and saving battery life. This was eventually increased to 333MHz via a firmware update, and speculation is rife that there could be firmware updates for the PSP Go to up the 480 MHz ante.
With just months from its October 1st launch, those eager to get their hands on the PSP Go will be hoping that the only hole burning in their pocket will be from the hefty £229 price tag and not from a sweltering console.
