[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 7681456, member: 203855"] Let me put it this way - we're talking about hardware, and the hardware was high end. Now, the clock was lower than stock, and the reason for that was that the device was dedicated to one purpose and one purpose only, playing video games, and that purpose was determined not to require full stock clock. To use your PC parallel, imagine that you are an engineer and you have your gaming PC project under your desk - it has great specs, and among those specs there's a weird expansion card in one of the PCI slots. It doesn't really improve gameplay at all, it just sits there and eats, say, 50 watts out of the total of 500 watts you're supplying to the rig. That's cool, it doesn't matter, you're hooked into the mains. Now, imagine that you have to make that PC capable of running on a battery - that card is cutting into your battery life significantly. Do you disable the card that does nothing for you or do you lose an hour of battery life? To Sony extended battery life was more important than resources that are not used in gameplay, therefore they lowered the clock. The Vita hardware is still high-end, it didn't magically become something else, it was merely custom-tailored to a specific purpose. In fact, even when downclocked, it was still competitive if not better than most handsets on the market. Do you understand now? [/QUOTE]
