An Intel Core i7 has been overclocked to 5.6GHz on a Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 motherboard. The motherboard is the first in the world to achieve a multiplier of 57x. Although it’s not the fastest a chip has been overclocked, that record was set at 8.58Ghz, it is the fastest this model of the Core i7 has reached.
iPhone 4S Could be Clocked at 800MHz – Still Performs Extremely Well
October 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Some tests have revealed that the iPhone 4S A5 processor could be clocked at about 800MHz. In a time when we are starting to see smartphones with 1.5GHz CPUs you might be thinking Apple has made a mistake here. However, based on other performance tests it seems that the low clock speed has made the OS extremely optimised and therefore, can keep things running at a high speed. The benefits of a lower clock speed means that the battery is able to keep the device running for longer.

HTC Thunderbolt Clocked to 1.8GHz
March 30, 2011 by Leave a Comment
The HTC Thunderbolt has been overclocked up to 1.8GHz. This was enabled by twitter user @drod2169 who managed to create a new kernal. This new kernal could be configured to increase the speeds from the regular amount which is 1GHz, to almost double the speed.
What makes this task even more interesting is the effect that the clock increase has when benchmarking the smartphone. To see the graph, check out the image below. At the top of the list called “Your device:” is the Thunderbolt which scored an impressive 2772. [Read more…]
iPhone Clock Breaks Again with DST Switch
March 14, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Each time the clocks change in preparation for the summer, it seems that iOS devices have problems with making the change. Last time, alarms broke and this time it seems the clocks are switching an hour in the wrong direction.
This time each year, clocks move forwards an hour in the US (followed by the UK and other places shortly after). A quick search on Twitter reveals that this wasn’t the case though for a number of iPhone users who have essentially posted on twitter wondering why they woke up a couple of hours later than expected.

Members of the XDA Developers forum have managed to overclock the Google Nexus S up to speeds of 1.2GHz.
The factory rating of the Hummingbird chip that it uses is 1GHz, so the 200MHz increase is very welcomed for anybody wanting to speed up their new Nexus S smartphone. [Read more…]
iPhone Alarm Clock Bug – DST Causes Alarms to Fail
November 1, 2010 by 2 Comments
When Australia switched clocks an hour a few weeks ago, a bug was spotted with the alarm clock that prevented alarms from sounding until an hour later. The bug is with recurring alarms which set of an hour later than the time set.
With Europe now switching clocks over the weekend, the bug is now here and it is expected that on November 7th the US will also see the bug in alarm clocks unless Apple [AAPL] push out a fix before hand. [Read more…]
Motorola XT720 Get Processor Clock Increase Through Update
September 20, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Owners of the Motorola XT720 Android smartphone will be getting an upgrade shortly that will re-clock the 550MHz CPU up to 720MHz. This speed increase is said to make the smartphone more snappy and capable of running a lot smoother.
As well as increasing the CPU speed the update also adds DLNA compatibility that allows you to stream media to compatible gadgets if you so wish. [Read more…]
HTC HD2 gets OverClock App to Run Things Faster
July 22, 2010 by Leave a Comment
The HTC HD2 has a lot of potential locked up inside. The processor on the HD2 is a Snapdragon that can run at 1GHz. The new OverClock applications lets you push it even further to what looks to be 1.267MHz making it run faster than it was designed to do. We of course mention that you should only overclock if you are willing to risk things a little.
On the flip side, you can also lower the CPU speed down to 768MHz to save battery life if needed.
The application has been out a while now, but has received an update recently that lets you more easily control the clock speed through a slider. [Read more…]
HTC EVO 4G Overclocked to 1.2GHz
June 16, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Over at XDA Developers we see that someone managed to tweak the setting on the new HTC EVO 4G taking the clock speed from the standard 998MHz (or 1GHz) up to 1.267Ghz.
The results saw Linpack jump from 6.9MFLOPS to 8.8MFLOPS which shows a 30% increase in speed almost.
The modification is straightforward although by increasing clock speed you also see the voltage requirements increase based on stock levels. What that means is that it sucks the juice out of your battery fairly quickly. [Read more…]
