Sony America has confirmed that the latest PSP firmware update, 3.5, has removed the software restriction that has capped the CPU speed of the handheld at 266 MHz.
The PSP is capable of a clock speed of 333 MHz, but it was locked at 80% of its full processing power most likely to lengthen battery life.
Now, thanks to the update, developers are able to code for the full speed and new titles currently in development will be coded for the new clock speed.
Take this news with a grain of salt however, because although the new games will run at higher frame rates, your battery will drain quicker.
Could this be the first step towards a complete overhaul and redesign of the PSP?
