Did a ROM Upgrade Make my 5450 go Faster? Yes.
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
About a month ago, I took my "virgin" iPAQ 5450 ROM 1.00.45 and upgraded it to the latest ROM, which was 1.11.19. I had read several reports from people who were claiming the new ROM made their device function faster. Being the curious person I am, I decided to use the then-unreleased Spb Benchmark to perform a series of controlled tests.
The results surprised me - the ROM update really did increase the performance of the device, even in CPU tests! Follow the link above to see the series of tests I did, along with the graphical benchmarks. If you're a stat-freak like me, you'll enjoy looking through the results. :mrgreen:
