Windows Phone Thoughts: Clear Speed 1.0 Reviewed

"'Overclocking' and 'CPU Scaling' has been the hot topic o­n just about every discussion board for the past week. Seems that a few developers figured out that HP had actually scaled back the iPAQ 1910s cpu to 200 MHZ. It seems that the Xscale processor in the 1910 is not o­nly capable of 300 MHZ, but the default speed. So, along with many of the discussions, there were arguments over whether changing the 1910 to run at 300 MHZ was actually overclocking or just scaling.

At the time of writing this review, there were three programs o­n the market for changing the speed of the 1910.One of the programs is apparently free! Clear Speed doesn’t have any options for version 1; you can either enable Clear Speed to 300 MHZ or disable Clear Speed to revert back to 200 MHZ.There will be other options for later versions, most notably the ability to scale back to 100 MHZ and possibly automatic scaling – Clear Speed would actually decide whether to scale up or down, to help save battery consumption."
