PSP Underclocked?

Very interesting piece here that claims the PSP is underclocked in software. Hardly too surprising - Sony really did try to jump a generation here when it comes to handheld 3D graphics and had to sacrifice battery life accordingly. The DS is much closer to where you’d expect things to be at this stage i.e. N64 graphics. It’s already pretty crazy that the PSP has twice as high a battery capacity as the DS yet well over half the battery life. I also can’t see battery technology taking THAT big a jump in the next few years, but who knows what Sony are planning? (Via Kotaku)
