The folks at Engadget’s have recently posted the image below – as they do not state a source, I am pretty sure that they got it from a dubious user:
overclocked centro On the overclocked Centro

While Marvell’s PXA CPU’s are known for their insane overclockability, one unspecified pin must be pulled low to allow the chip to go over 624 MhZ (AFAIK) – as far as I know, no hardware manufacturer has done that in their designs so far.

IMHO, the image is a very simple fake. A screenshot of TCPMP was made on the device, was edited on the PC and was moved to the Centro once again. The device was then photographed…

  1. Merry Christmas!

  2. well… Dmitry managed to get a LD up to 845 mhz, he had to raise the cpu voltage and set the multipliers to “338 bus, x2.5 cpu mult”, the only details he gave were that he used a soldering iron, my duct tape and scissors guess was wrong. here the original post: http://1src.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144043&page=1&pp=15

    If this is real the mult would be exactly 3x so maybe…!! on a side note, the guy is using skinui… a dgr’s app, I will put my tin foil hat on and adventure to say that maybe, just maybe the guy is DGR himself… if not fake of course…

    Merry Christmas everyone!

  3. I want to know which SkinUI theme that is (if it is one).

  4. Hi Folks,
    as said – while possible, I doubt it.

    Why should anybody do it?

    All the best
