It was said hundret times that Cortex A8 was made with great scalability of speed in mind. Long live OCed N900's
That's not a valid argument thought. Like Javis said Cortex-A8 isn't really anything physical.
Samsung got official 1ghz processor(45nm) called hummingbird that uses Cortex-A8 arch where first phone is released in months time, but it's 45nm and doesn't share much with the N900 while it's running 600mhz Cortex-A8.


For me this overclocking is great. I buy new phone every year for certain and i'm not planning on selling N900 so i'm really happy with the 900mhz overclock.
