Default Overclocking TyTn

Hey i noticed u guys talking about overclocking the TyTn. Is this true? Can we overclock? I like to check how much we can speed it up. Man, if we go any faster, it will be like having a laptop in our pockets. Please let me know if there are noticeable difference and how much you can overclock the TyTn.

I am currently overclocking with xcpuscalar. I believe you can also overclock using pocket hackmaster. I am oc'ing to 472, although it is perfectly stable at 500. I wish I could the damn autoscale to work properly but it keeps shutting itself off.

Does the TyTn feel any faster when overcloked?
Have you run any benchmarks comparing the affects?

Plus too many old ones to list or remember...

I haven't run any benchmarks. And honestly it doesn't feel any faster. It already fly's. I rarely have it bog down.

Part of that may be that XCPUScalar is designed for the Intel XScale family of processors. Someone I know tried Hackmaster but it didn't work very well. He posted to Anton Tomov's website about the issue on the TyTN's Samsung processor.

XCPUScalar seems to work fine at 500. Tried Hackmaster too, but
its froze my TyTN. Working autoscale would be sweet thou.

Gotta try and find some benchmarking programs to compare the speeds.
Any suggestions for a good one?

Must be working thou, since setting the processor to 100, makes the device very very slow.

Hmm, it seems XCPUScalar is faking the speeds, it works when "underclocking" but not when overcloking.

Cant try with pocket hack master, since it frozes up with any speed I try to test.

Has anyone been able to overclock the Samsung CPU yet? XCPUScalar doesn't seem to be working correctly as it was designed for XScale or TI OMAP... not the Samsung CPU.
